Creative Writing
Learn from world-famous Kallie George how to build a story through art, crafts and play. Each week will build on the other, starting with designing a key… and ending with a story.

Painting & Drawing
Through play and investigation, students will get a foundation in visual arts and develop their painting and drawing skills and techniques. They will discover a range of materials like charcoal, oil pastels, tempera and gouache paints and use them for imaginative projects inspired by great artists and creative processes.
