10:00-3:00
Hosted by Joan, assisted by Danny & Wendy
Bring your own lunch/snacks
We'll introduce the students to early, primitive art with a focus on the idea that art can serve a function while also having aesthetic beauty. After dressing in tribal gear made by the children, we'll trek down to a canyon-like park near Joan's house. There, the students will use natural resources to make a shelter and other useful pieces of art. Before leaving the park, the students will collect natural elements to decorate a personal art piece to take home.
Please dress your child in clothes for exploring and getting messy. Closed toe shoes such as tennis shoes or hiking boots are ideal. If you have one, your child can bring a functional, primitive art piece to share (such as an instrument, bowl, etc.)
