Workshop 1: Create & Critique: Designed for children ages 6-8 and 9–11, this class begins with an introduction to the history of the Statue of Liberty. Students will participate in a guided discussion and art critique led by artist Laura Loving, exploring her original painting Lady Liberty and learning how artists use line, color, shape, and composition to communicate ideas.

Next, students will create their own cityscape or Statue of Liberty. The session concludes with a supportive group critique where students share their artwork, discuss their creative process, and celebrate one another’s ideas. The class emphasizes creativity, self-expression, artistic exploration, and building confidence through thoughtful discussion and positive feedback.

Workshop 2: Collage: Students will explore the world of collage and mixed media with artist Laura Loving. Art Stars will learn how artists use layers of paper, color, texture, and found materials to create unique compositions while developing their own artistic ideas.

Students will then experiment with a wide variety of materials—including magazines, newspapers, patterned papers, markers, and oil pastels—to design and create their own original collage.

The session concludes with a supportive group critique where students share their work, discuss their creative process, and celebrate each other’s ideas. The focus is on creativity, self-expression, artistic exploration, and building confidence through positive feedback.

Workshop 3: Summer Sketchbook: Art Stars get ready for a summer of creativity by learning how artists use sketchbooks as creative spaces to collect ideas, explore new materials, record memories, and develop their artistic voices.

Each student will receive their own sketchbook. They will create a personalized sketchbook cover and design a “Creative Laboratory” page filled with their interests, dreams, favorite places, and future project ideas. The workshop encourages experimentation with a wide range of materials, including drawing, painting, collage, photography, and writing.

Children will leave with a sketchbook and inspiration to continue filling the pages throughout the summer. This class emphasizes curiosity, observation, imagination, and confidence, helping young artists develop habits that support lifelong creativity.

New classes are added each week! See the calendar.
