With Rachel Morris

Young artists will experience art from cultures around the world. Participants will learn the cultural significance of each artwork through interactive activities derived from creative practices of various continents. 

Each Saturday, students will focus on a new continent and experiment with many different art styles and materials, all provided by the program. Students will develop skills in creativity and dexterity by exploring paper mache, fabric, weaving, paint, and more. At the end of each week, artists will have an amazing new piece of artwork to take home.

This supportive environment encourages young artists to create memories with new buddies, as well as gain confidence in their art skills. Participants will thrive in their creative endeavors and gain new wisdom in worldwide and cultural art.

Rachel Morris

As an art education student at Cal Poly Humboldt, Rachel Morris is well versed in multiple art practices and loves diving into new styles and techniques. She is enthusiastic about creating with freedom, as well as developing her art skills through ambitious projects. Art has been at the center of her entire life. She says that it has been "a privilege to have such a great support system in my art journey, and I aspire to provide the most positive feedback to all young artists around me." She considers herself a lifelong learner, and loves hearing facts about science and animals -- and she has a few of her own to share. She is fascinated by nature and the ecosystems around her, so a lot of her art practices revolve around exploration of her surroundings. Her goal as an art teacher is to inspire artists to create fun, interactive art in connection to their passions.
