A Midsummer
Night’s Dream Naturally Creative:
art & nature Parade Float Extravaganza
Christine Brenneman Sherri Kuecker
CONCEPT
In this dreamy and
whimsical workshop, students take
6 — 8 their inspiration from Shakespeare’s
play, “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream,” as they create enchanted
art projects. Glittery potions, fairy houses from
recycled materials and natural found objects,
forest sprite crowns, magical wands and more
are created! Students also read passages from
Shakespeare’s humorous play and other fairy
tales as they write a collective story to illustrate
together. The workshop uses all types of artistic
materials such as watercolors, colored pencils,
Sharpies, paint, felt, ribbon and, of course,
lots of glitter! This magical week is sure to
capture the imagination as students dream up
fantastical artworks to take home.

CONCEPT
Immerse
your
imagination in the wonderful natural
6 — 8 world of the Rocky Mountains
and create a variety of multimedia
artworks that incorporate natural
elements. We begin by exploring the beautiful
nature trails surrounding Anderson Ranch as
we take time to sketch and gather materials.
Then we bring our outdoor inspiration into
the art studio as we create delicate watercolor
paintings, ceramic wind catchers, hand-dyed
silk tapestries and vibrant sun prints. We use all
kinds of mediums such as clay, pastels, paint,
watercolors, yarn, silk and more! Let’s get lost in
our love of art and nature.

Katherine Bell
CONCEPT
Join the team as we
design an ultra-imaginative float
7+
for Aspen’s Old-Fashioned Fourth
of July Parade! Lend your creativity
and skills to design a spectacular
float for all to admire. We draft a master plan
complete with an overall theme and float slogan.
Then we spend the week painting, sculpting and
decorating a variety of artful pieces to dazzle
the crowds on this fun national holiday. We use
fabric, wood, paint, glue and more. To top it all
off, we tie-dye tee shirts and create costumes to
wear while we walk alongside the float in the 4th
of July parade.
