Over six weeks, young artists will venture outdoors to observe leaves, bark, seeds, textures, colors, patterns, and other natural discoveries—and then bring those observations back into the studio to inspire their own artwork.Through drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, clay, and mixed-media exploration, children will experiment with a variety of artistic processes rather than creating a single predetermined project. Each week offers a new invitation to notice, wonder, and create.Inspired by the Reggio Emilia atelier approach, the workshop encourages children to follow their curiosity, make discoveries, and develop their own ideas through art. Carefully selected picture books will provide additional inspiration and help connect children's observations with stories, language, and imagination.The six-week experience culminates in a gallery walk, where children will share, reflect on, and celebrate the artwork they have created throughout the series.This six-week artist-led experience includes:Six 60-minute sessionsAges 5–8All art materials providedOutdoor exploration of the farm (weather permitting)Process-based studio experiencesPicture books and storytellingNature sketchbook/artist journalA culminating celebration of children's creative workTuition: $130 per child for the entire six-week seriesAbout the Teaching ArtistJulie Klear Essakalli is a trilingual teaching artist, writer-illustrator, and creative learning specialist with more than 25 years of designing arts experiences that foster curiosity, inclusion, and connection.Her work spans classrooms, museums, and community organizations across the United States and abroad, where she blends visual art, storytelling, language, and nature into meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for all ages.As co-founder of Zid Zid, Julie develops whole-child Pre-K enrichment programs, is a conference speaker and leads professional development for educators, helping schools integrate process-based art, literacy, and creative inquiry into everyday learning.She is 2027-28 Groundwork Ohio Early Childhood Fellow and award-winning children's book illustrator represented by Painted Words.
