Crazy T-Shirt Day!

Thursday 11/1/12 from 10am-1pm

(NOTE: THIS PARTICULAR CLASS IS ON A THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY AS USUAL)

Come join us for a fun day where we will take an ordinary t-shirt and make it extraordinary!  Students will have access to puffy paints, fabric markers, funny stampers, and tie dye colors!  T-shirts will be supplied, but students are welcome to bring their old ones from home to recycle them into something new and improved.  Once these creations are done we will take the fun outside to create a one of a kind play with costumes.  Cost is $40 and includes all art supplies and take home project.

MAZE-O-RAMA

Friday 11/9/12 from 10am-1pm

Let's use our logic skills and investigate spatial relationships as we create our own mazes!  Let the fun begin as we re-imagine new possibilities for our mazes using boxes, cardboard, and broken down toys.  After building, painting, and decorating these interactive mind puzzles we will take a journey to Maze-O-Rama land, creating cooky characters who will perform in our made up play.  Cost is $40 and includes all art supplies and take home project.

GRATITUDE TURKEY

Friday 11/16/12 from 10am-1pm

Looking for that perfect centerpiece for this Thanksgiving?  How about an awesome hand made turkey of gratitude made by your child!  We will use our imaginations to up-cycle ordinary discarded objects into a very special and meaningful Thanksgiving Day decoration.  Be surprised and take delight in finding out what your children are most thankful for as we encourage students to explore what they are most grateful for in their lives.  Afterwards we will enjoy a story and play improvisation games!  Cost is $40 and includes take home project.

LOVELY LIT UP LANTERNS

Friday 11/23/12 from 10am-1pm

Create a lovely keepsake lantern!  Students will turn an ordinary jar into a fantastically beautiful lantern using various beads and covering our jars in a mod podge of tissue paper colors.  These lanterns look stunning once lit up and decorating your home!  After our craft we will explore new worlds as we play a variety of drama games and even create our own play.  Cost is $40 and includes all art supplies and take home project.

OLD FASHIONED BEAN BAG TOSS

Friday 11/30/12 from 10am-1pm

This is a one of a kind group experience as students get to choose from a variety of fabrics to sew and fill up their very own bean bags.  Students can choose to hand or machine sew with guidance after they fill up their bean bags.  Concurrently they will be designing and painting their own toss game for the bean bags.  Let's have fun as we play an old fashioned game of tossing bean bags along with drama games!

This class is designed for the creative child who is interested in exploring the world through photography. Each week students will focus on a different aspect of photography and get a chance to shoot as many photographs as they like on a new Nikon L26 digital camera. At the beginning of class each week students will view a printed version of their best photos from the previous week's shoot. They will use their printed photographs to share ideas, positively critique, and ultimately to add to a personal scrapbook portfolio keepsake. As we explore different aspects and types of picture taking there will be an emphasis on play through various drama exercises and games. At the end of the session students, family, and friends are invited for a one of a kind gallery-esque photography showing of the work they are most proud of. During this potluck celebration students can celebrate their unique perspective of the world they see...photos of life through their eyes.
