Wednesday – June 3: Fashion Illustration
- Time: 12:15pm – 3pm
- Age: Grades 3-5
- Cost: $45.00 members / $50.00 non-members
- Location: Sea Road School Art Room
Instructor: Emily Bider
In this creative and confidence-building early release workshop, students will explore the world of fashion illustration and personal style. We begin with time to decompress from the school day—students will enjoy lunch, relax with friends, and ease into the creative process with light movement and sketching warm-ups. The main project introduces students to fashion illustration, where they will learn how to draw stylized figures and design their own outfits. Using simple, age-appropriate techniques, students will explore proportion, pose, and how clothing can express personality, mood, and creativity. Students will experiment with color, pattern, and imaginative design—whether inspired by everyday fashion, fantasy, or their own unique ideas. The focus is on expression, confidence, and enjoying the creative process. After completing their designs, students can continue creating with a bracelet-making station, offering a tactile and playful way to extend their artistic exploration. All materials are included.
Wednesday – June 3: Theater Explorer 3 with Miss Sierra
- Time: 12:15pm – 5pm
- Age: Grades 3-5
- Cost: $60.00 members / $65.00 non-members
- Location: GT Room
Instructor: Sierra Dann
Join River Tree Arts for a hands-on theatre experience through a series of interactive workshops led by Miss Sierra. Participants will explore different aspects of theater, including acting techniques, improv, design, directing, and scriptwriting, while learning how stories are brought to life on stage. Through games, exercises, and creative activities, students will build confidence, develop performance skills, and gain insight into both performing and behind-the-scenes elements of theater. These workshops are designed to give students a fun and engaging glimpse into the many ways they can participate in theater, whether on stage or off. Anyone is welcome whether they have theater experience or not, come join us for a fun few hours.
