Join Ms. Carrie to explore unique art this summer. We'll learn about an artist or medium, but we'll spend most of our time MAKING ART! This session, we'll finish some famous art with our own spin!

Best for Grades K- entering 6th in the fall. 

Sometimes, artists lose their inspiration halfway through a painting and never finish it.  We'll explore a few of these unfinished paintings and then try to help these artists out by putting our own spin on a famous work of art.  The best part is that we'll fill the "art supply buffet" with a variety of art supplies that you can choose from- not just crayons or colored pencils! Registration required.

For a list of possible book titles that we may use in this program, click here. 

If you register but later are unable to attend the event, please call 847-429-4685 to cancel as soon as possible. This allows a student on the waitlist to join the event.  We will be taking attendance at the programs, and staff members reserve the right to move a registrant to the waitlist if they are found to be consistently absent from programs. 

Is the program full? Be sure to register your child for the waiting list.  We do our best to accomodate interested participants.
