Art Party Themes (four projects per theme)
Fairytale Adventures
Your child’s imagination will be fantastically ignited with fairytale creatures. They may build a recyclable castle, create an enchanted forest, or sculpt tiny fairy houses. Imagine the adventures they will have with their very own mystical dragon, magical wizard, or friendly elf. They may play a hero as they wave a magic wand, solve a problem, embark on an adventure or gallop away on a unicorn puppet.
Paint like the Visionaries
Let's get up close and personal with famous artists! We will sketch, paint, and draw to create masterpieces inspired by artists like Faith Ringgold, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Frida Kahlo.
Under the Sea
Explore the mysterious depths of the sea by creating interesting fun aquatic creatures and underwater ecosystems. Young artists will get the opportunity to dive into a number of projects created with various materials that will spark the imagination and interest in the wonders of the sea. Even the youngest artist will feel a sense of accomplishment, when they create sea turtles, octopi, sharks, whales in a painted sea, hanging ornament, or in 3-D.
Intergalactic Adventure
Using various materials, create your own intergalactic adventures and build planets, galaxies, spaceships and more! Artists will have fun exploring strange new worlds, create new life forms, and boldly exploring the world beyond
Art of Nature
Explore the wonders of the natural world through art. Your child will learn drawing and painting techniques to create a wildlife pastel resist. Dive into an ocean sculpture, peek into the rainforest canopy or play on a tropical island. Imagine what fun your child will have creating puppets of colorful and fascinating animals inhabiting the wildest of places.

Afrofuturism
Afrofuturistic multimedia projects are a fun way to build art skills, imagine positive unique realities and envision amazing technological advances. They are great conversation starters in reimagining the past, being creative in the present and envisioning together to build a phenomenal future.
