Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (Ages 6 - 12)

Van Gogh is famous for his vibrant depictions of sunflowers. In this project students will create bold and beautiful flowers using oil pastels and then create a contrast background using water resist. They will also discuss looking for shapes when drawing. Each child will create their own masterpiece to take home with them.

Clay Animals (Ages 6 – 12)

Students will learn to work with clay and some basic techniques. Each child will create a one of a kind sculpture of their favourite animal to take home. We use air dry clay so that sculptures can go home at the end of the party.

Painted Tote Bags (Ages 9 – 12)

Using only the three primary colours participants will create a work of art on canvas which contains a kaleidoscope of colour. Participants will be proud to use their distinctive bags.

Japanese Book Binding (Ages 9 – 12)

The art of booking binding has a long history. In this project students will use a simple stitch to bind a book (about 9”x12”). They will then use the techniques they learned in the warm up to decorate their book covers using water colours.
