Kids explore the magic of color while creating dazzling rainbow animals, shimmering insects, and glowing landscapes using exciting art techniques.

We will learn about the fracturing of light through a fun outdoor prism activity and explore the vibrant colors of ROY-G-BIV. Young artists will take on the exciting challenge of painting a rainbow that looks just like one seen in nature.

Throughout the week, students will create colorful artworks inspired by animals such as rainbow fish, chameleons, peacocks, fancy roosters, and iridescent beetle bugs. (Live specimens will be brought in for up-close observation!)

Artists will experiment with shimmering colored pencils, vibrant chalk pastels, paper quilling, acrylic paints, and magical ink techniques to create spectacular rainbow-themed artwork. We’ll even add some brilliant rainbow anime characters to the mix!
