Throughout the day, students will break for outdoor and social time. This class encourages curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection to nature through playful making and exploration.

All projects are specifically designed to accommodate students of all skill levels and can be adjusted accordingly to meet each student's specific needs. No prior art experience is needed.
