Inspired by Maurice Sendak’s beloved classic Where the Wild Things Are, this class invites young artists to unleash their imaginations and bring their own silly, spooky, and wonderfully weird monsters to life.

Get ready to explore a wild world of creativity where anything is possible—and every monster tells its own story!

Foxes, squirrels, deer, raccoons, magpies, and skunks – autumn is alive with curious creatures! In this class, kids will explore color, shape, and texture as they create paintings and collages of their favorite animals—either blending into the warm hues of fall or standing out in bold contrast against them.
Freeform Sculpture : ages 8-10
Tuesdays, November 11 and 18, 4:30-6:00
In this playful and imaginative class, kids will explore the art of creating abstract forms using wire and stretchable nylon fabric (pantyhose!). Students will bend, twist, and shape wire into dynamic frameworks, upon which they will stretch the nylon fabric. The final step will be to to add color, texture with paint. Along the way, they’ll learn basic sculpture techniques, experiment with balance and negative space, and discover how abstract art can express ideas, emotions, and energy in three dimensions.
Freeform Sculpture : ages 5-7
Thursdays, November 13 and 20, 4:00-4:45
Create a one-of-a-kind sculpture. Cut out fun shapes, paint colorful designs, add sticks, pipecleaners and beads. Attach them in unexpected ways. The name of the game is color-shape-create!
