In Little Artists in a Big World, young learners will embark on a creative journey exploring art across continents and cultures. This hands-on course introduces students to the lives and styles of artists from Asia and Africa—regions often underrepresented in standard classroom art history.

Through storytelling, visual exploration, and discussion, students will discover traditional and contemporary works from around the world. They’ll then bring their learning to life with inspired art projects, including a collaborative oversized landscape painting of Garrison Landing in the intricate style of Chinese artist Wang Ximeng. Weather permitting, students will also take a nature walk, observing the world around them and creating their own bold patterns inspired by African textiles—exploring ideas of visual rhythm, symbolism, and design rooted in natural forms.

This class nurtures global curiosity, cultural appreciation, and creative cooperation, showing children how art connects us all. This class is for children 7-12 years old of all skill levels, and all materials are included.

Discover the world of zines and mini comics—DIY booklets that mix art, writing, and self-expression. In this hands-on class, you'll learn about the history of zines, from underground punk scenes and sci-fi fan clubs to personal storytelling and collage art. Each week, you'll explore a different theme, like silent comics, perzines (personal zines), collage/catalog zines, or subcultures, and create your own short pieces inspired by that focus.

You’ll draft, share, and develop your work through group activities and independent projects, while learning easy DIY methods to print and assemble your creations. No fancy equipment or experience needed—just your ideas and creativity.

At the end of each 4-week session, we’ll celebrate by trading copies of our zines and mini comics, building a collection of unique voices and styles from the whole class. This class is for teenagers of all skill levels and all materials are included.
