Who Helped The Dogs Out? Katie Alldritt Erdin Schultz-Bever Mariah Seifert Us ... us, us, us! In this team-up with Lawrence Humane Society, come study the wonderful qualities of our canine companions and then make some doggone art. We’ll make toys and collars for both our own pets and dogs in need at the Humane Society. Explore how dogs, and their wolf ancestors, move through performance, dance, and puppetry. With all this newfound knowledge we’ll make PSAs, pet portraits, and an event to help hounds find homes.

Sculpture Engineers Katie Swan Leah Towle Katie Alldritt Mariah Seifert Spend a week using applied engineering to build a variety of sculptures both outside and in an art studio. The Lawrence Arts Center is collaborating with City Playcorps’ Adventure Playground to help students design within parameters, create ephemeral and lasting sculptures, and utilize collaboration and critical thinking to build works of their own choice. Each day will focus on a shared Physics/Art principle in order to explore the many ways of engineering sculptures; build your essential 3D language as we focus on Material, Mass, Space, Center of Gravity, and Movement. Engineers in age groups will split time outside practicing and learning through creative play.

JULY 6-10 Cardboard Arcade Alicia Kelly Erdin Schultz-Bever Katie Swan Donna Jo Harkrider This entire week is devoted to creating a playable cardboard arcade in the lobby. Each student will work on their own or with friends to create a kinetic sculpture that can be a part of an arcade installation at the end of the week. STEAM concepts focus on the forces, motion, and engineering that ensure each game works. Using the backdrop of the 1980s, artwork will be big, bold, brash, and definitely neon. Whether you’re creating Hot Shot basketball, an analog Nintendo game, or something the world has never seen, we’ll work through problems and craft solutions in this design/build workshop styled class. We’ll have a Cardboard Arcade opening with tickets, prizes, and playable artwork on the closing Friday of class. It’s on like Donkey Kong!

Box City Tokyo Alicia Kelly Erdin Schultz-Bever Traci Bunkers Katie Alldritt Konnichi wa, Tokyo! Explore the long cultural history and architectural beauty of Japan while planning, designing, and engineering a kid-sized, cardboard box metropolis.

Students gain an appreciation for shape, form, and proportion as they apply these principles to their expanding city. The real magic happens as students take ownership of their structures, identities, and culture within the city. The cardboard city is installed in the lobby for all to enjoy with a public opening on the last day of camp that aligns with Final Friday.
