Session 1: Tuesday, August 11, 10am to 12pm
Home! A Mural.
Instructor: Lisa Kolarscik
"Home!" is a mural celebrating the unique landscape we call home. In a time where more and more development threatens to change the character of our special nook of New Jersey, children will work together to recall the natural and cultural landmarks special to our area. From the woods to the rivers, to the beach, to the ocean—and the one-of-a-kind places in between—we will paint and preserve our vision of home!
Session 2: Thursday, August 13, 10am to 12pm
Other Worlds Other Realms!
Instructor: Lisa Kolarscik
Indigenous cultures believed spirit animals were meant to guide and protect us on our journey in this world, empowering us with certain traits at certain times in our lives. The wisdom of the owl, the strength of a bear, the courage of a lion...calling upon our needed messengers in this particular moment in time, we will envision our own spirit animals and creatures, sculpting them into fruition as clay masks! Using air-dry clay, children will learn the basic approach to clay-modeling as taught through a Waldorf lens.
Session 3: Tuesday, August 18, 10am to 12pm
Make Mixed Media Self Portraits
Instructor: Lisa Kolarscik
Tapping into our five senses, children will contemplate the smell, taste, feeling, sound, and look of the crucial question: What does it mean to be free? They will first explore this theme in their minds and bodies, and then create mixed-media self portraits depicting this awesome and original version of themselves.
Session 4: Thursday, August 20, 10am to 12pm
Painting Shore Animals & Shore Foods
Instructor: Ashley Lucas
You know how when you are at the beach, minding your own business, and a seagull steals your french fry? Let’s imagine another shore animal, pair it with a shore food, and make a painting. Feel free to bring one stuffed animal or figurine from home to inspire your creativity!
