April 4:  Solar Eclipse Art

Long before there were cameras or telescopes, eclipse watchers recorded what they saw in the sky in words, drawings, and paintings. Create your picture of a solar eclipse with chalk and paper!

April 11: Open Lab Lego Play.
April 18: April is National Poetry Month.  Please join us in creating your own poetic works through the process of Blackout Poetry.  Blackout Poetry is a type of “found poetry” where the artist selects words that catch their interest from magazines, books, or other printed text – along with a few additional words that help the poem flow. Then all unneeded remaining words are blocked out or “redacted”. This is usually (but not always) done with a black marker, therefore the name “blackout poetry”. The chosen words form a new message, which gives the text an entirely new meaning. 

March 14 celebrated Pi Day.  Pi Day, an annual celebration of math and learning and it also happens to be Einstein’s birthday.   March 21:  Art Dice. Created a set of dice to gamify your art!
