4:00 PM - 5:00 PM    HCA Programs for Youth - Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces
Storybook TheaterJoin us for an interactive theatre experience! This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM    HCA Programs for Youth - Intro to Realistic Figure Drawing
Storybook TheaterJoin us for an interactive theatre experience! This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM    HCA Programs for Youth - Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces
Storybook TheaterJoin us for an interactive theatre experience! This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM    HCA Programs for Youth - Intro to Realistic Figure Drawing
Storybook TheaterJoin us for an interactive theatre experience! This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

Friday February 7, 2025
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM    HCA Programs for Youth - Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces
Storybook TheaterJoin us for an interactive theatre experience! This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

This fun, active introduction to creative drama, includes creative movement, imagination, drama games, activities, songs, and hands on crafts. Inspired by favorite children’s books, Storybook Theater will embark on a new adventure each session!  Grades 1-3; Mondays, January 13-April 7 Fine Arts Academy: Mixed Media Masterpieces Join this fun program that will cover a little bit of everything relating to art making. Come explore texture through collage, painting with your fingers, scraping tools, and brushes of a variety of thicknesses. We'll also use watercolor, both chalk and oil pastels, tempera and acrylic paint. Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

Each project will be inspired by a different masterpiece.Grades 3-5; Fridays, January 17-April 11Introduction to Realistic Figure DrawingFocus on drawing realistically through exercises, observation and learning techniques from other artists. Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop.

Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1

Each week we will start with warmup exercises to get our hands loose and our eyes keen. Although we will learn how to render individual elements like eyes, noses, hair and hands, focus will be to train the artist's brain to “to draw what you see, not what you think it should be.” Outside of class drawing is suggested, but not required. You are encouraged to bring in your own sketchbooks as well to discuss individual progress, obstacles, and questions. Grades 7-12; Mondays, January 27-March 10Gyotaku: Adult & Child Workshop!Experience the intersection of art, nature, culture, and science in this 2-hour printing workshop. Gyotaku, or "fish impression" is a traditional Japanese form of nature printing, a practice used by fishermen dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, we can use rubber fish to practice these direct printing techniques with ink, paint, and rice paper. Japanese fishermen used this printmaking method to record and track the types of fish found in local bodies of water before cameras and technology were available. The teacher, Ms. Judy, will demonstrate the method using a real fish before participants get the chance to practice using rubber whole fish. This hands-on workshop allows everyone to make several prints, discovering the wonderful textures and patterns that will be unveiled through the printmaking process.While our prints dry, we will enjoy a snack break (goldfish!) and time for socializing before we get the chance to bring them to life with color. Dress to mess!Adults and Children 8+; Saturday, March 1
