In this full-day program, students will be introduced to water-based paints and playful forms of printmaking while learning how artists use images and symbols to share their ideas with the world. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of kindness and community, kids will explore colors, shapes, and patterns to create prints that celebrate hope, friendship, and working together.
Printmaking is an artistic process of creating and transferring an image from one surface to another, usually paper, to make multiple copies. It uses simple materials like rubber, sponges, foraged materials (leaves, flowers, etc.) or cardboard to create a ""stamp"" that is then covered in paint and pressed onto paper. This can be a fun, messy, and creative activity that helps children learn about patterns, color, and textures.

Join us for a one-day art class inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the role of posters in social change. Students will explore how artists and activists have used bold visuals, words, and color to make their voices heard throughout history — from the Civil Rights Movement to present-day causes. Through guided examples and hands-on design activities, students will brainstorm a message they care about, sketch their ideas, and create their own large-scale poster using mixed media.

This workshop is perfect for teens interested in fashion, design, or craft, and provides a strong introduction to jewelry studio tools and safety.
