Creation Station
Ages: 6–11
Cost: $10
January 13 – Cultural Connection: Australian Aboriginal Dot Painting
Students will learn about Australian Aboriginal dot painting, a traditional art form that uses repeated dots to create patterns and symbols.
Artists will create their own dot-style artwork using paint and tools like cotton swabs. Designs will include handprint-inspired shapes, helping students explore pattern, rhythm, and cultural storytelling through art.
Creation Station is a fun and welcoming art program designed for elementary-aged students to explore their creativity through hands-on projects. Each week features a new theme and medium—ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media—with occasional two-part projects that span back-to-back weeks. Students receive step-by-step guidance while being encouraged to make choices that personalize their artwork, helping them build skills, confidence, and creative problem-solving.
This class is perfect for kids who love experimenting with different materials and want to grow their artistic voice in a supportive environment.
Pre-registration is required. Walk-in availability will be limited and may not be available at all depending on the number of online sign-ups.
