Your Brain and Art (Grades 7-8) - 4 PM days

How does your brain shape the way you see, feel, and create? In this hands-on, science meets art class, students will explore the surprising connections between neuroscience and creativity. Throughout the week, we’ll investigate visual perception, optical illusions, emotions, sensory processing, decision making, and creative problem solving. Students will experiment with illusions, draw using “brain tricks,” create textured mixed-media artwork, and design a final piece that blends scientific understanding with artistic expression. This class is perfect for curious artists, budding scientists, and anyone who wants to understand the incredible brain behind their creativity.
