outings

We had our first session at our new satellite location at the T.E.A. Factory. We had a blast making pennants!

Field Trips!

Classes have been coming to visit the gallery all week long and will continue all month! We had a splendid time doing scavenger hunts, discussing art, learning new words and concepts and having coloring circles!

Happy 2015 and A LIttle Catch Up!

Somehow we got a season behind in our posting so what better way to start the new year than to catch up and start fresh. So here are some images from our fall and winter season where we focused on lots of holiday crafts and had some wonderful visiting artists including Jean Esther, Exeter Girl Scouts who came to do their collage badges, and a wonderful seasonal workshop in the Student Center. This winter we are looking forward to our international film screening starting with Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki.

More camp news coming!

And when the tents were finished we had a chance to draw, play, garden, take a gallery tour and cook in the kitchen, and even have a visit from a nutritionist! What  blast!

More letters home from camp!

As you scroll down you can see how the campers designed - problem solved- cut- drew- planned- sewed- built skylights and windows- made friends- and enjoyed- making their very own tents!

Art & Gardening Camp

Camp was AMAZING this year! As I am sure you can see from all the smiling faces! The kids spent the week learning about the organic garden, making individual life size tents, designing cigar boxes, touring the grounds and the gallery and our culminating event was a delicious lunch that they cooked! 

Many thanks to the wonderful guests we had:

Amanda Deibert- tentmaker extraordinaire

Phoebe Canakis- Natural Foods Chef

Dsaha Gardecki- apron maker

Ann Wellock-nutritionist

Stay tuned for more pictures!

april events

The kids have been really busy lately, so here's what we've been up:

One day we visited a local exhibition. The artist, Nancy Sarangoulis, displayed works that were inspired by her trip to India. 

Jacob, admiring some of the sculpture work.

 Fernando, with his painting that was inspired by the show! 

One day we made these cute little terrariums. 

One day we had a local nutritionist come in and give us a lesson on healthier food choices.

Here's the group intently listening to her words of wisdom! 

and one cold rainy day we watched a silent movie, called The Red Balloon!!!
