Kids explore art, stories & music of "Miracles, Magic & Joy" from different cultures while learning new life lessons or skills, i.e. paint, build, sculpt, with art teachers.
This season the team at RAZ is SHARING LIGHT & CREATIVITY. We cordially invite you & your family to join in the "Miracles, Magic & Joy" at Robertson Art Zone.
About RAZ Art Projects:
RAZ Campers get to experience how much fun it is to capture the essence of a story or tradition within an artwork project that can become a keepsake. This week they made snowglobes!
Our lives are made special by making memories through cultural traditions which can represent many things.
WEEK 1 - ART WITH STORIES CAMP, DEC 20-24:
Campers heard holiday stories by art teachers of miracles, magic & meaningful lessons from different cultures.
Based on these kids made projects using mediums of painting, building, and sculpting.
WEEK 1 - Art with Stories: Each day was a new story & many magical projects:
Day 1
Hi Everyone, we had a fun first day with many projects, based on an Italian story, The Bell of Atri.
Monday (Diversity) The Bell of Atri, an Italian story; projects included making a horse!
Life Lesson: It’s best to be kind & fair towards each other, even animals
TUESDAY (New Year) King of the Forest, a Chinese popup book story; projects included an animal calendar
Day 2
We read a Chinese Story, The Fox and The Tiger. Campers learned a few life lessons from it.
DAY 2 We made:
a calendar with 12 Chinese animals,
sculpted with Magic Clay,
made a pop-up book and
experimented with watercolors.
WEDNESDAY (Christmas) The Mexican Legend of Poinsettias story
Day 3
Kids made ingenious artworks from recycled objects.
Life Lesson: If you put all your love and care into something not so pretty you can still make it very special and important.
THURSDAY (Kwanzaa) The Feast, African story
Life Lesson: Each of our actions, no matter how small, is important and affects the whole world
Day 4 Children "traveled" to Africa and made a lot of projects:
African Kente cloth design and
tie-dye shirts
a self portrait with collage, based on Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, and learned about expressing our happiness and pain in art.
And RAZ participants played a game to encourage teamwork and patience.

WEEK 1 - A few more valuable LIFE LESSONS children learned with the RAZ method of making art through storytelling:
