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.
April ARTivities
Throughout April, we will let our creativity flow with art projects inspired by the letter I.
- Art Bar: Pay homage to the beautiful Ukrainian pysanky eggs by completing your own in this easier method.
Art projects:
- Collaborative Mural: IBERIAN LYNX – With sessions at 11 am and 2pm, you can add your own twist to the community by creating an Iberian lynx from recycled materials in the vein of Bordalo Segundo, a Portuguese street artist.
- Historic / Artistic Movements: IMPASTO – We will apply paint in thick layers, then leave visible brushstrokes or palette knife markings just like Italians did during the Renaissance in the 14th century.
- Techniques: ILLUSTRATION AND INSECT ART – This STEAM-driven project will help you focus on bug anatomy plus any incredible insects your hands can invent!
- Memphis Artist Series: We’re diving into all things fancy and springtime with our latest Memphis Artist Series instructor, Jimpsie Ayres, through May 24.
- Literacy: Literacy that supports the arts includes stories like The Falling Flowers by Jennifer B. Reed plus Rechenka’s Egg and Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco.
