#THIRSTYforARTThursdays

We love Art Museums!

A great way to appreciate ART, spend time with your family…and make Art

During our School Year and June Camps, we make sure to go on Museum Tour Adventures to create ART while surrounded by ART!

And sometimes we even BECOME ART!

Try it and visit a Museum with your family this Summer!

OR JOIN US at the MET this FALL!

Mandalas in Art

The term Mandala, meaning circle or completion in Sanskrit, carries great symbolism in many world religions and philosophies. In the Art world AND in our classroom, the Mandala can bring on a form of creative therapy.

Our June Summer Camp Adventurers explored Mandalas and created their own version! Using elements found in “nature”, unity and balance were developed both in the art AND in the soul.

If interested in learning more about Mandalas and other forms of Asian Art, be sure to check out the Rubin Museum! And attend their annual block party this Sunday, July 17th, celebrating Nepalese culture as inspired by their recent exhibition: Nepalese Seasons: Rain and Rituals.

Happy Art making!

Art Adventures Week 3 June Camp begins Next Week!

Our first week of Summer June Camp in 2016 was a hit! Our Art Adventurers were very busy- exploring the underwater world with diorama building; discovering the differences between opaque and transparent materials with Jim Dine collages; learning about glass art with Chihuly Macchia Bowls;  experimenting with colors in our marbleized clocks for Dads; sculpting as inspired by Eva Rothschild & Sol Le Witt; and painting pictures inspired by Miro & Mondrian! We ended our week on an adventure to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Phfeww, What an art filled week!
