Pack your imagination and get ready to travel with art! You’ll explore creative styles, patterns, and projects inspired by places around the world—then make your own colorful masterpieces along the way. Paint, draw, collage, and build as you create art inspired by maps, landmarks, animals, celebrations, and designs from different cultures. Every day is a new “destination” with hands-on projects and lots of creativity—plus plenty of artwork to bring home from your world art adventure!

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.

Dive into an underwater adventure—mermaids included! You’ll explore the ocean world and create sea-sparkly art inspired by waves, coral reefs, and amazing sea creatures. Design mermaids (and merfolk!), paint swirling water, build colorful fish and jellyfish, and make “treasures” you’d find on the sea floor. We’ll use paint, collage, and simple sculpture—plus shimmery materials for extra ocean magic. Come ready to imagine, create, and leave with a bundle of under-the-sea masterpieces!
