Natural Wonders (Nature Inspired Art) for ages 6-9 (in person)

Course description

Go on outdoor adventures and translate the colors, textures, and forms from the natural environment into various projects. Create personalized terrariums, nature journals, collage art, and watercolor paintings. A field trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art provides inspiration through viewing works like the Jade Mountain, a variety of impressionist paintings, and textile art. On Wednesday morning, Studio Kids is excited to partner with the University of Minnesota’s Raptor Center! Interpretive naturalists from the Raptor Center will be on campus to introduce students to one or two raptors to observe, learn, and draw. Families and friends are invited on Friday afternoon to see the exciting projects created throughout the week.

Open to students ages 6–9. Students must meet the age requirement by August 1, 2025. Please review our complete Summer Youth Camps Policies as well as our General Policies before completing your registration. Information about extended care options for ages 6-12 through Children's Theatre Company are included in the Summer Youth Camps Policies page.
