301 Maskmaking
Spirits of the Rainforest
The art of maskmaking, rooted in the traditions of indigenous people who live in the Amazon rainforest region, is fast becoming a lost art. Work with artist Julie Boada to create your own mask inspired by those of indigenous people who still maintain a deep connection to nature.
302 Drawing and Painting
The Amazing Rainforest
Brazil is home to many different kinds of animals— everything from the three-toed sloth to the squirrel to the poison dart frog! Artist Karen Anderson helps you learn a variety of drawing and painting techniques, as you create your rainforest masterpiece for display in our Art Gallery on Friday.
303 Dance
Dancing in the Streets
Everyone is dancing to the Latin beat! Join dancer Christopher Yaeger and explore the origins of Latin dance. Then learn dance steps and sequences to the dance of the Carnaval, the samba—and more.
404 Mixed Media
Brazilian Carnaval Garb
The Rio de Janeiro Carnaval in southeastern Brazil is an annual celebration held before Easter. People dress in colorful costumes and balance huge headpieces on their heads as they walk the streets playing music and dancing. Join artist Tara Fahey and make a colorful, flamboyant headpiece out of reuse items, feathers, and more, plus a costume to wear in our Carnaval parade.
