Art Makers Outpost Youth Artists in Residency Afternoons: Paint Pouring, Gelli Print Making, Slime, Collage & Miniature Building

Art Makers Outpost

During our 3 x 1 afternoon sessions, as always, whenever your child is at Art Makers Outpost they are free to create what they would like- but in these special afternoons we will pull our specialty materials & focus our exploration on some specific art forms so your young artist will have the opportunity to go more in depth with some of these special techniques while they create their masterpieces at their own pace! Projects & techniques your child will explore: ​Fluid Dynamics & Abstract Art (Paint Pouring): Discover the secret formulas of fluid art! Control the flow of pigments to craft stunning, swirling abstract galaxies on canvas. No brushes—just pure, gravity-defying color experimentation. ​Polymer Chemistry & Sensory Play (Slime): Dive into the most fun kind of polymer chemistry! We'll formulate glorious, custom-colored batches of high-stretch, sparkling slime. You'll become a certified tactile texture expert. ​Monotype Printing & Texture (Gelli Print Making): Learn the professional technique of Monotype Printing using a strange, gelatinous plate. Press, pull, and pattern surprising textures to capture one-of-a-kind prints from a world you design. ​Scale Modeling & Set Design (Miniature Building): Tackle the challenge of scale as you construct detailed scenes, secret dens, or futuristic cities barely bigger than your thumb. An excellent exercise in design and proportion. ​Composition & Narrative (Collage): Transform fragments of the ordinary into extraordinary visual stories. Develop your eye for composition by layering papers, found treasures, and textures to create beautiful, expressive narratives. Ages 6-14 25 participants per session max
Age: 6—14
