Exploring the Ancient
For rising1st—6th grade (ages 6-12)–offered all three weeks
The Pyramids of Giza, Homer’s Odyssey, and paper—these were all invented centuries before the birth of Christ! Travel back in time as we learn about the unique customs, symbols, and artforms of four fascinating ancient civilizations: Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome! Like archaeologists, we’ll uncover mosaics, paintings, and ceramics highlighting each civilization. Then, we’ll swap our excavational tools for paintbrushes and pencils to create our own artwork inspired by these ancient cultures that helped shape our modern world.
Fee (includes daily instruction, art supplies, and snack): Museum Members: $95 | Non-Members: $99
