Dive into a river adventure! Explore rivers, rocks, and ripples—and create art inspired by the creatures that live in and around the water. Paint swirling currents, design fish and frogs, make dragonflies and turtles, and build a colorful river habitat with collage and simple sculpture. Use playful materials and plenty of imagination as you create, explore, and take home a splashy bundle of river-inspired masterpieces!

Jump into a week packed with creativity, color, and movement! You’ll design graffiti-style art with bold letters, stencils, and spray-paint effects—then paint your own custom skateboard deck and style a one-of-a-kind baseball hat. In addition to the art sessions, you’ll learn hip hop dance basics—beats, grooves, and fun choreography—then wrap up the week with a mini showcase that puts your art and your moves in the spotlight. Create, move, experiment, and leave inspired.

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.
