Mixed Media Mania with Alex Makes Art

Grades 2-8, Week 8

Join Alex Makes Art for a week long mixed-media adventure where bold creativity meets joyful chaos! This hands-on program invites budding artists from 2nd grade to teens to explore the wonderful world of art with a fresh, fun twist each day. With a focus on playfulness, self-expression, and a little bit of kitsch, you’ll transform everyday materials into extraordinary masterpieces.

Your instructor, Alex, is a mixed-media artist and educator with a knack for bringing creativity to life in unexpected ways. She has exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, works in the fibers department at MassArt, and collaborates with Harvard and MIT’s Open Space Programs, as well as dozens of local libraries and youth centers on the regular. Known for designing intergenerational crafting experiences that are as unique as her students, Alex transforms every space she visits into a playground for imagination and artistic exploration.

What to Bring

Campers are required to wear sneakers and athletic/comfortable clothing. We are trying to use less plastic cups, please encourage your camper to bring a reusable water bottle. There will be water refill stations all over campus. Campers may also have time at our water play area throughout the week, please pack a bathing suit for the week. Summer@BB&N provides towels, so no need to bring your own!
