Class Description
In this sustainability focused course, students will use recycled materials (paper scraps, stray fabric, old house hold objects, etc.) and re-image their use. Whether it’s creating pencil pouches from stray fabrics or vases from water bottles, this multi-media class will engage students in creative, artistic exploration.
Students will be encouraged to use their imagination as we explore various media, artistic techniques, and 3-D shapes. Each class will introduce new tools and technique for “upcycling” alongside a project to guide students.
Students will leave this course understanding the exciting potentials of reusing materials and have the opportunity to make fun objects for themselves and others.

I am a passionate visual artist, gender justice activist, and educator who believes in the power of using public art for social change. I am the founder and co-leader of Chalk Back, a global youth-led chalk art movement against gender-based street harassment. The goal of Chalk Back is to empower young people to combat street harassment using social media, story sharing, and chalk art. My work with Chalk Back has been featured in international media including New York Times, BBC, CNN, The Independent, Forbes, Vanity Fair, and NBC.
I love to teach workshops and classes on how to use public art...
Instructor's reviews
My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.
Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
