Class Description

Age: 4-7 years old 35 minutes, 5 meetings Let’s blast off into space and explore our solar system through art! In this fun, creative 5-week class, young learners will discover the Sun and all eight planets while creating their own colorful space-inspired artwork. Each week, we’ll learn a little about different parts of our solar system and then turn what we’ve discovered into art. Our space adventure will include: Week 1: The Sun We’ll explore the center of our solar system and learn about the Sun before creating our own bright and colorful Sun artwork. Week 2: Mercury & Venus We’ll travel closer to the Sun to discover Mercury and Venus and create artwork inspired by these two fascinating planets. Week 3: Earth & Mars We’ll explore our own planet and its neighboring world, Mars, before creating our own Earth and Mars masterpieces. Week 4: Jupiter & Saturn We’ll travel farther into space to discover giant Jupiter and beautiful, ringed Saturn, then bring them to life through art. Week 5: Uranus & Neptune Our space adventure ends with a visit to Uranus and Neptune! We’ll review what we’ve learned about our solar system with a fun song before creating our final planet artwork. Each 35-minute class combines simple science, conversation, creativity, and hands-on art. There’s no right or wrong way to make your artwork. Learners are encouraged to use their imagination and make each creation their own. Come explore, create, and make a little space magic with us!
