ARTivities
Our Art and Innovation Lab is stocked with everything from clay to paints to pastels to help your child explore the world of art. When children delve into art, they are not just painting a picture or creating a sculpture; they are developing skills that will help them in other areas of their lives, including spatial reasoning, perspective and dimension.
This month’s ARTivities
Throughout the month of October, we will let our creativity flow with art projects inspired by the letter O.
- Guided Art Bar – Orthogonal Lines: Learn to articulate perspective in your drawings with the convergence of diagonal lines to a vanishing point – also called orthogonal lines.
- Table 1 – Collaborative Mural Sessions at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.: Magic Monster Dice – Counting down the days until Halloween takes on new life in this fun creation of one, or several different monsters using artful creativity and numerating skills.
- Table 2 – Ombre Ostrich: Gradation is a technical term for gentle transitioning in color. Learning gradation helps little people in tremendous ways by showing how hard or light to press on a pencil. It also helps later in shading objects to provide more realistic perspective. This activity will use the ombre effect of melding one color in different shades with paint or crayon on a mystery object.
- Table 3 – Memphis Artist Series: Noah Miller will help you create your own style of community by building cardboard houses. Through November 30.
- Table 4 – Octopus: We’ll be organizing an octopus!
