Leroy Neiman

LeRoy Neiman was an American artist best known for his vibrant, dynamic paintings that captured the energy and excitement of sports, entertainment, and leisure activities. Born in 1921, Neiman became famous for his distinctive style, characterized by bold, bright colors and expressive brushwork that brought scenes of sporting events, jazz musicians, and social gatherings to life. He was a fixture in popular culture, often seen sketching at major sports events like the Olympics! His work has appeared in magazines, on posters, and in galleries worldwide. Neiman’s art is celebrated for its ability to convey the thrill of the moment, making him one of the most recognized and beloved artists of the 20th century. This week, join us as we celebrate this year’s Olympic games with our Neiman inspired work of art!
Clay:
Farm Animal Sculptures 
When you think about the farm, it always brings to mind the catchy tune of ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm, E-I-E-I-O.’ This week, our students will learn the handbuilding technique and transform their slab pieces into cones, challenging themselves by balancing their chosen farm animal heads on their sculptures.
Music:
Elton John
As always, join us for a fun and interactive music appreciation class! This session focuses on the legendary Elton John. We’ll explore the concept of pitch through engaging activities and learn to sing his hit song “Crocodile Rock” in the playful styles of different animals. Get ready to rock and roll while we discover the joy of music together! No prior musical experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and love for music!
