Imagine inventing a time machine and traveling anywhere to meet anyone you wished. It would be easy to zip through time and solve the mystery of the Mona Lisa smile, experience Van Gogh's Starry Night, or figure out Picasso's cubist portraits. Join us as we rely a little on art history, great storytelling, and a lot of imagination!
Young artists ages 5–7 and 8–12 will explore the elements of art and create unique individual works inspired by the rich legacy of European art. Enroll separately for each week. Drop-off times begin at 8:30a daily. Join friends and family each Friday at 4:00p in the Bishop Gallery for a weekly performance/exhibition reception.
Artists Through the Ages
July 9–13 • 9a–4:30p

The Renaissance: Telling Stories through the Elements of Art
July 16–20 • 9a–4:30p
Oh what a time, the Renaissance, what stories can be told! A great time of individual growth, the Renaissance period is packed with dragons, knights, pageantry, noble feats, great thinkers, da Vinci inventions, and amazing art.
Art from the Heart
July 23–27 • 9a–4:30p
How did European artists portray family and friends, work and play, celebrations and somber occasions? Find out who lives in your family tree, paint a portrait in the style of Thomas Gainsborough, explore friendship with Pieter Brueghel, and discover animals à la Franz Marc.
