As we continue feeling the heat this sunny August, take a break in the cool AC and make some food art with the whole family!
Another great project from our June Summer Camp, we took graham crackers, food coloring, icing, brown sugar and an array of yummy treats to make a fun beach/under the sea scene.
Just try not to eat all your art materials at once!
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!
Our MUSEUM AND GALLERY TOURS AND Our FALL SEMESTER ART ADVENTURE CLASSES
….with BUBBLES!
Our Summer Camp Art Adventurers painted with bubbles in our classroom, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also make bubble art outside! Go to the park, your backyard, or maybe even the beach!
Just make sure to grab some food coloring, bubbles and paper before you go!
Summer is in full swing and with these sunny days and hot weather, what better way to feel “cool” than with some ART!
Check out these totally beach friendly projects from our June Summer Camp!
All you need is liquid watercolor, eyedroppers, salts, and COOL WATER to make these abstract salt watercolor paintings!
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!
Turns out “Snow” globes make for a great project at parties no matter what the season! Just use any found objects to follow your particular theme, different color glitter, glycerin, & distilled water! With the weather quickly changing, Cherry Blossom trees with pink and white glitter can make for the perfect “Spring” globes to welcome the upcoming season!
From the weather to spirit animal or even your favorite sport, the possibilities are endless. What “themed” globe idea do you have? Check out some of our globes from our last Party Adventure!
In honor of this month, we commemorate Captain Patrice Clarke Washington– through value study! Born in the Bahamas in 1961, Captain Washington, is one of the nation’s, and possibly the world’s, first black female commercial airline captains!
Taking a photo of her, we divided the image, and each Art Adventurer made it their own – following the “code” of values and using a wide variety of materials! In the end, we brought our pieces together to create this colorful portrait of an inspiring figure who continues to make history.
Mother nature has inspired us this winter! And we’re preparing for another snowy day with some fun interactive Art! Here’s a sneak peak!
Stay tuned for our Art Adventurer’s versions!
