"I loved making bracelets, and I loved doing color meditations, and I loved learning about how animals see color, too."

"I learned that there was this guy who painted the color of the morning every day for three years. It was super cool. I learned a lot about light and negative space and controlling how big and small things look with light and shadows."

Color Lab

This spring, the vibrant beings of Color Lab dove deep into the wild world of pigments, tints, and hues, exploring our own imaginations, and the magic of the world around us. Each day, we meditated on a different color, learned about the science of light, sight, and pigment, and created colorful artworks!

Water Keepers

Water Keepers spent this spring exploring how water is a connective thread throughout so many aspects of our lives and our world. We reflected on the life-giving qualities of water and how much we depend on it in our daily lives. We dove into the water cycle – learning about how all the water on earth is ancient and how it moves through time and space in different forms (liquid, gas, solid). We visited different water bodies: creeks, lakes and estuaries and observed and archived their qualities and textures. It was in these places that it was made so apparent how many other beings are connected to and supported by water: birds, plants, rocks, fish, trees...and us!
