Art We There Yet? World Treasures ART-ventures:
Grab your passport and climb aboard!
In this multi-cultural art exploration program, young art travelers jet from continent to continent, and discover amazing art secrets hidden all across the globe. Borrowing from Native American art traditions, craft colorful Shrinky Dink sun catchers and sculpt "All About Me" clay totem poles. Create flower pots with feet and funny faces, inspired by ancient pottery found in metal embossing masterpieces in Greece. Make Aboriginal clay masks, and try a special kind of Italian scratch art, called "sgraffito." Plus, draw African elephants, make t-shirts inspired by Panama "molas" (fabric art), sculpt Burmese marionettes, and decorate festive skulls inspired by Mexican calaveras.
Art-ventures experience a multitude of materials and techniques, and bring home two-to-three dimensional masterpieces each week as souvenirs from their travels. Fun facts about each country and culture are included.
This class is open to R.D. Seymour School students only and is held at the school immediately following dismissal. E.G. Parks and Recreation staff will be responsible for signing out the students and snack will be provided.
