Discover, Create, and Be Inspired by Iconic Artists!

Join us for a 4-day art adventure during February school break, where kids ages 7-13 will explore the styles and stories of world-renowned artists. Each day focuses on a different artist, blending art history with hands-on projects and creativity!

Tuesday: Van Gogh’s Starry Night

We’ll dive into the swirling skies of Van Gogh’s iconic "Starry Night." Kids will create a mobile featuring mini paintings inspired by his bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors.

Wednesday: Picasso’s Funky Faces

Explore the whimsical and abstract world of Pablo Picasso’s Cubism. Kids will design colorful, creative masks inspired by Picasso’s funky faces, experimenting with shapes and bold patterns.

Thursday: Monet’s Impressionist Landscapes

Step into the serene world of Claude Monet! Using Monet’s love of nature and soft colors as inspiration, kids will create dioramas influenced by his famous water lily and garden paintings.

Friday: Frida Kahlo’s Bold Portraits

Celebrate self-expression and symbolism with Frida Kahlo. Kids will craft their own self-portraits, incorporating personal symbols and vibrant details, just as Frida did in her work.

Each day includes time for creativity, connection, and learning about the life and style of each artist. No prior art experience is needed—just bring your imagination and a spirit of fun!
