  • Art in the Wild

    Ages 8–12 | Tuesdays 1-3:30pm

    SESSION 1:  June 9th-June 30th

    SESSION 2:  July 28th-August 25th

    • Class Description 
    • Enter Art in the Wild, where older makers lead their own adventures at the intersection of nature and STEAM. Using natural and reclaimed materials, participants dive into inquiry-based projects that blend artistic expression with hands-on building and guided problem-solving. From engineering eco-friendly sculptures to experimenting with natural pigments, every project empowers participants to take creative risks and see their ideas through.

      As curiosity leads the way, creators develop the confidence in their own unique voices while deepening their connection to the natural world. It’s a purposeful space where participants discover that nature is the ultimate collaborator.

      As the same small group meets weekly, activities build on one another, allowing skills, confidence, and comfort to grow over time. Shared materials and familiar faces help form a creative community that lets care for the planet and one another take root.

    • What to Expect in Class 
    • Children move through a playful rhythm of discovery, starting with a sensory invitation, then exploring natural materials outdoors, followed by open studio creation, and wrapping up with a short goodbye ritual to celebrate our little discoveries.

      Each week introduces a new botanical art project using media such as clay, collage, printmaking, and painting. Inspired by the changing seasons, children work with materials gathered from the regional landscape or foraged during class, deepening their connection to the plants, animals, and natural cycles that surround them.

      Along the way, we practice skills such as fine motor, sensory awareness, problem-solving, collaboration, observation, and creative confidence. We engage as a group in a predictable, supportive, hands-on environment where experimentation is encouraged and ideas are valued.

      Classes take place at the beautiful and whimsical Yawkey House Garden (not to be confused with the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum!), with roughly half of the time spent outdoors in the garden and half inside the adjacent carriage house, where restrooms are available.
