STEAM Art Classes with 1st and 2nd Grade
Using the amazing illustrations of Eric Carle as inspiration, students have been spending time creating artwork with a variety of media. His familiar stories such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Lonely Firefly, and The Grouchy Ladybug helped spur students on to create such projects as glow-in-the-dark firefly jars, finger painted paper mass production activities, and a block print series. Just like the artist- our studio has been messy and fun!

STEAM Art Classes with 3rd and 4th Grade
Architectural Design has been the inspiration for this group of summer artists. Students investigated castles around the world and used the their favorite aspects from several designs to inform their own permanent sand castle sculptures created from recycled materials. Students learned about Frank Lloyd Wright and created two different types of stained glass artworks- medieval and contemporary. They also had some fun experimenting with fabric dye techniques!

STEAM Art Classes with 5th and 6th Grade
Many students are familiar with only one form of Japanese art- Anime. However, many students have not studied what lies as inspiration for the backdrop of some of their favorite series- the subtle beauty of the Japanese paintings and block prints. Intricate block prints created by Japanese artists through the centuries make wonderful inspiration for students to create block prints and paintings of their own. Students also dove into other Japanese art forms by making bamboo paintings with traditional sumi ink and enjoyed designing their own carp kites!
