FOOD (for grades 1–2) Workshop Canceled

Sorry, this workshop has been canceled. Please consider another option, like What a Relief, also for kids entering grades 1-2.

We are what we eat! But where does our food really come from?

Students in this workshop will join artist Dana Martin to look at growing food and plant life as an inspiration for contemporary art. They’ll examine edible plants and make them the center of their outdoor summer art explorations. This class could be a great companion to home or neighborhood gardening efforts.

This is one of three special SUPER NATURAL outdoor workshops, being held this summer at Ohio State's Chadwick Arboretum.

Dana Martin is an art educator who will be completing her master's in arts policy and museum education this year at Ohio State. She loves working with and teaching families and children all over Columbus.

Registration fees are just $95 per student, per workshop for the general public. Wexner Center members save: members' registration is just $75 per student, per workshop.

Locations and Equipment
All classes will be held on the top floor of Sullivant Hall OR at the Chadwick Arboretum on the Ohio State campus. Students will receive confirmation information and directions to the drop-off point for each workshop via e-mail.

In our computer classes students will work on a Macintosh laptop. Children are welcome to bring digital cameras from home for photography-related classes; but please remember to include the cord, battery-charging system, and an empty memory chip. If you don’t have a digital camera, just let us know and we will provide one.

Changes and Cancellations
Dates and times are subject to change. The Wexner Center reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment without incurring obligations. If a class is canceled, you may transfer to another class or request a full tuition refund. If you withdraw from a summer workshop up to seven days before the event, you will receive a full refund less a $25 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after that time.

Friday Celebrations
Each Summer Kids workshop culminates in a final celebration during the last half-hour of class. Parents, guardians, friends, and family are invited to join the class at this time to see what the young artists have done.
