STORYBOOK CREATIONS - with Karen Starr

Registration Closes July 6th

Young artists will be inspired through the magic of storytelling in this creative, imagination-filled class! Each session begins with a lively read-aloud, followed by a hands-on art project that brings the story to life in a unique and meaningful way.

Featured stories and projects include:

• “The Dot” – Students will explore creativity and self-expression as they learn to “make their mark,” creating artwork that celebrates individuality and artistic confidence.
• “Harold and the Purple Crayon” – Using a limited purple palette and geometric shapes, students will design their own imaginative worlds and adventurous scenes.
• “Giraffes Can’t Dance” – Artists will sculpt their own animal using air-dry clay, then paint it in bold, unexpected colors to celebrate uniqueness and self-expression.
• “Swimmy” – Students will experiment with printmaking techniques, using handmade stamps and bubble wrap to create dynamic underwater scenes full of texture and movement.

This class encourages creativity, builds confidence, and helps students connect storytelling with artistic expression in a fun and engaging way!

No materials needed.
