Be sure to bring your imagination!

MEDIEVAL ART
Return to a magical time of kings and castles, knights and unicorns, minstrels and jesters. You will design a family coat of arms and a "stained glass" window, tell a story in your "tapestry", create a clay gargoyle and a firebreathing dragon. Make a costume for the medieval masquerade which concludes our week. (no class on 7/4)

YOU ARE THE ARTIST!

ECO ART
Whether we are looking at the natural patterns around us, seeing a landscape or using found objects in nature to create art, we are influenced by our physical universe. We'll take a nature art walk, paint plein en aire, make a bird feeder and create a nature puzzle. At week's end we will have finished our eco earth story board!

CONSTELLATIONS, COMETS & PLANETS: ART IN SPACE
The sky has always been fascinating! Our space ship will explore and inspire us to create black holes, interesting patterns of the stars in our July sky and add a new planet to our solar system. Make a cosmic mobile, design and build a space ship and create a space creature!

ART ON THE MOVE!!!
From kites to kinetic art, get ready to make something move! The motion may be physical, as in kinetic sculpture or the mobiles of Alexander Calder, or implied, as in the Op art paintings of Bridget Riley. Whether its wind powered or moved by you, we'll see art in motion!
