Young artists will explore texture through sculpture. Using air dry clay to sculpt ocean creatures like jellyfish or starfish, students will discover the shapes and forms they see as they sculpt. Inspired by the BMoA summer exhibition Second Nature.
Inspired by the work of visiting artist Ann Diener, students will learn collage making, then execute their designs using iPads.
Students will use block printing to tell a story, inspired by the printmaking of Marion Osborn Cunningham, on view in Seventy Years of Inspiration: The Story of the Bakersfield Museum of Art.
It's Jewelry Week! Students will use copper wire to create rings, bracelets, and more, embellished with semi-precious stones and beads, all inspired by Copper Trees inside Ann Diener's Greenhouse.
Students will use watercolor and acrylic paint, with visible brushstrokes, to capture the fleeting effects of light and color, just like the Impressionist artists of the 1870s-1880s. This week's inspiration comes from the summer 2026 ArtWorks exhibition Becoming.
