  • Inspired by Joan Miró: Shapes & Imagination

    Joan Miró’s art bursts with playful shapes, bold colors, and imaginative creatures. Children will paint their own abstract worlds full of stars, moons, and whimsical forms, then sculpt 3D elements with clay, cardboard, or wire. Their creations will pop off the canvas, transforming their artwork into lively, imaginative masterpieces.

  • Inspired by Paul Klee: Magical Colors & Shapes

    Paul Klee’s art sparkles with imagination, color, and playful forms. Children will paint whimsical landscapes or abstract compositions, then sculpt 3D stars, houses, or fantastical creatures, turning their canvases into magical, textured masterpieces.

    Please note: This PA Day camp on June 5 will be filmed; registration confirms consent for your child’s participation.

  • Inspired by Eric Carle: Colorful Nature & Animals

    Eric Carle’s colorful illustrations bring nature and animals to life in the most playful way. Children will paint cheerful gardens, flowers, and animals, then sculpt 3D elements such as butterflies, bees, or blooms. The result is a lively, textured artwork that’s full of color, movement, and fun—perfect for young artists to explore spring creativity.
