Saturday, September 14th Playing Dress Up
Playing dress up truly inspires creative imagination. Children delight in seeing pictures of themselves, set up in collage format and ready to be dressed up, providing another exploratory environment using different mediums and textured materials.
Saturday, September 21st Insects in the Garden
Prompting children to investigate “insects and bugs in the garden” using stock images, images from magazines, insect and bug themed books and exploring various collage materials, children draw, cut, arrange, embellish and create their own insects and bugs around a garden theme.
Saturday, October 5th Places and Spaces
Embracing art as open-ended play and using table top sized recycled boxes, children paint and then embellish the boxes with torn scraps of paper, magazine scraps, and more exploratory mediums, while using their imagination to create houses, barns, sheds, city blocks, work places, theatres or whatever else is inspiring their artistic dialogue.
Saturday, October 19th Texture Monsters
While considering all the friendly monsters seen in books and movies, young monster makers decorate their own paper, explore the available embellishments, cut out their monster body parts and explore their own design concept while assembling their little creatures.
Saturday, November 9th Beasties
Working with a black and white theme, but adding a splash of color here and there, “beastie” makers paint their own newspaper black or/and white, cut out geometric shapes and parts from other black and/or white substrates, explore different mediums such as buttons, ribbon and tape to create their own insect or monster.
