‘da Genius daVinci! - a SUPER hands on arts and science day camp
Frances Leach High Prairie Arts and Science Complex has an exciting SUPER day camp on Monday, January 18 for kids kindergarten to third grade. Bring a brown bag lunch and join us for ‘da Genius daVinci! This hands-on, action-filled day features the life, times, and brilliant work of Leonardo daVinci.

The day starts with a welcoming introduction by an actor-historian Leonardo himself, followed by seven lively arts and science activities through which participants will rotate. Highlights of the day include:

Gateway to Science presents Renaissance Science - an investigation of daVinci's scientific interests during which kids make a rotocopter, witness the power of steam, and explore their own depth perception

Suzuki School of Music presents daVinci's Lutes -an opportunity to build a lute, experiment with how sounds are created on each lute and listening to Renaissance music of daVinci's time.

Theo Art School presents Mirror Writing - an exercise in daVinci's ideas about inversion where kids create an artistic rendering of their name or initials formed backwards, using a mirror to witness the ‘magic' end result.

Central Dakota Children's Choir presents Shape It, Draw It, Play It -an activity for kids to create a group sculpture with moving parts followed by sketching the sculpture and setting it to rhythm.

Shade Tree Players presents Transporting to daVinci's Day - an experience in dramatic ‘play' with simple costume drapings, centuries-old etiquette and simple Italian phrases that transforms each child into a mini-daVinci.

Theo Art School presents Smile for Leonardo - a focus on fascinating faces, where daVinci's famed Mona Lisa portrait launches each child's own creation or a portrait, learning to draw simple expressions and a face.

Gateway to Science presents the Gallery ala Leonardo - a science gallery exploratory with a bent toward daVinci's inventions, ideas and scientific contributions.
