Embark on a creative journey through Japan without ever leaving the studio!
Our Inspired by Japan Arts Day offers a vibrant and hands-on exploration of Japanese culture through various art forms, including painting, mixed media, drawing, and sculpting. Children will not only learn about Japan's rich artistic traditions but also create their own masterpieces inspired by the beauty and wonder of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Workshop Schedule & Highlights:
Canvas Artwork: Cherry Blossoms
April is the season when Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms (sakura) bloom, and we’ll celebrate these beautiful flowers by painting them on a ready-to-hang canvas. Using acrylic paints, kids will learn how to capture the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, creating a piece of art they can proudly display at home.
Mixed Media Collage: Koi Fish Pond
Next, we’ll dive into the colorful world of the koi fish, a symbol of strength and perseverance in Japanese culture. Children will create a layered artwork of koi fish swimming in a serene pond using a combination of paints, mixed media, and collage materials. The result will be a dynamic, textured piece that represents the peaceful beauty of Japanese ponds.
Clay Art: Mini Sushi Charms
Time for a fun and playful clay activity! Kids will hand-build mini sushi charms out of clay, and we might even add a Gudetama (the famous lazy egg character from Japan) to the mix! This hands-on sculpting project will teach basic clay techniques while tapping into the fun, quirky side of Japanese pop culture.
Character Drawing (Optional/time permitting)
If time permits, we’ll wrap up the day by learning how to draw popular Japanese characters. This session will provide kids with the skills to sketch their favorite characters, bringing a little piece of Japanese animation to life.
Throughout the Day:
- Lunch Break: We’ll have a relaxed lunch break where kids can recharge. Please bring a nut-free lunch and a water bottle to keep hydrated.
