Monday – Fine Arts (June 8th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm)

• It takes a lot of people with different roles to collaborate and create a show that’s memorable for audiences! Students will learn what it takes to put together a show and choose what show they want to put on, from a musical to a rock and roll show the possibilities are endless…

Tuesday – Music Videos 101 (June 9th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm)

• It takes a lot of work to make meaningful and eye capturing music videos. Students will step into the shoes of music video professionals—directors, choreographers, sound engineers, and more—to learn how each role shapes the final product. There will be outfits for participants to choose from, ipads to record, and much more!

Wednesday – Paper Mache and Clay (June 10th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm)

• Participants will choose a story, characters, or video game to recreate with either paper mache or clay or both! They will learn how to plan their progress, make paper mache, and work with clay tools. They will use their engineering skills to build either a scene from a story of their choice! Students will have the option to work as a team or individually! We will provide all stories and books! 

Thursday – Instrument Zoo (June 11th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm)

• Students will learn and explore what makes an instrument make sound, the different pitches of an instrument, and how to create their own instrument to take home! In addition to learning about instruments and playing music they will also have the opportunity to create their mini song!

Friday – Coco/August Rush Watch Party and Art Exhibition! (June 12th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm)
