Get ready to zoom in and make art that shimmers! Have you ever looked closely at a butterfly wing, snake scales, or a dragonfly’s see-through wings? Animals are covered in incredible patterns—and you’ll get to recreate them in your own bold way. You’ll draw, color, paint, and collage using all kinds of paper (even clear cellophane!), plus markers, crayons, glitter, and more. Make spots, stripes, swirls, and scales, then take home a collection of wild, beautiful pattern masterpieces!

The Art of the Harvest is a program where art, agriculture, and imagination come together. You’ll use vegetables from the ranch to create, carve, dye, print, and more. When you aren’t making art using vegetables, you’ll have the opportunity to play a role in our vegetable production.

Registration through ACES (opens February 19). https://aspennature.org/activity/aces-summer-camp-2026/

After-school classes are a fun and welcoming space where elementary students can explore their creativity and imagination. Students will experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media while learning basic art skills through hands-on projects and playful exploration. Emphasis is placed on creativity, curiosity, and self-expression rather than perfection, helping young artists build confidence and enjoy the process of making art. In a supportive and encouraging environment, students will make new friends, try new materials, and discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.
