NATURE KINGDOM ART, An art & science adventure supplied by plants, animals & minerals.

  • Tubac Community Center 50 Bridge Road Tubac, AZ, 85646 United States (map)

All classes will be held at the Tuba Community Center from 9-llam. Dress for creativity! Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that can get messy with mud and dyes.

In this fun and gloriously messy workshop, kids will discover how art materials come from three natural kingdoms:

  • Plant Kingdom  (leaves, bark, roots, flowers, fruits, vegetables)

  • Animal Kingdom  (wool, hair, dung, feathers, beeswax, eggs)

  • Mineral Kingdom  (clay, rocks, metals)

Kids will explore a unique array of materials and techniques and create three interesting works of art to take home!

  •  Plant Kingdom: Paint with inks made with tea and coffee

  • Animal Kingdom: Beeswax Resist with Egg Tempera Wash

  • Mineral Kingdom: Cool Shapes with Pan Pastels 

Kids will learn and practice the proper way use and care for paintbrushes and pastel blending tools.

Kids will create a classroom art gallery and enjoy a silent art walk before gathering to share thoughts about their own work, ask for more information, or report discoveries. 

Please send your child with a water bottle and a healthy snack to support their energy and focus throughout the program.
