  AstroArt Workshop: Beauty of the Heavens Looking for a Fun interdisciplinary virtual workshop combining art and the science of Astronomy, well this one's Out of this World! With our AstroArt Workshop, children ages 7-15 can be inspired to think big, dream big, and to foster curiosity about an enormous universe in which the boundaries appear unlimited. The spark of interest often ignites in young minds where the ABC's of the universe are brought to light. Exciting week-long sessions for children grades 2-6 begin in January, with lots of fun STEM hands-on activities as they are guided into the mysteries of the universe. Here we will combine art and the beautiful universe using NASA's MicroObservatory as we gaze upon a cosmic ocean, and compare objects in space to things we see in the earth's oceans. You'll be working with an astronomer, Kevin Manning, who was a Consultant for NASA, worked with space telescopes, and won an international award for astrocreativity. Kevin will guide you through requesting images from robotic telescopes and process those images like professional astronomers do. Cosmic Images Across the Spectrum will require using a search engine, locate and download images of the selected object taken by detectors sensitive to various frequencies in radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays, and assemble with the processed visible image. Then, information for each selected object, such as type of object, when discovered and by who, constellation found in with its celestial coordinates, apparent and true size, brightness, etc. will be compiled onto a page or "block" and submitted to be added to a "Cosmic Quilt." Color poster-sized printouts of all blocks submitted can be assembled for a physical Cosmic Quilt and put on display as an exhibit for all to see. This is just the beginning of the week-long multidisciplinary project that will have extraordinary tangible results. You've never seen anything like this before! Topics include: * Capture the Colorful Cosmos with NASA's MicroObservatory * Jewels of the Night Sky * Modeling your Favorite Planet in the Solar System & Beyond * Gazing Upon a Cosmic Ocean * Exploring the Beauty of Earth as the Astronauts Viewed and Celestial Objects in Deep-Space * Visitors from the Cosmic Neighborhood: Comets, Meteors & Asteroids * Celestial Phenomena and the Splendor of the Northern Lights * Cosmic Images Across the Spectrum Many fun and educational STEM hands-on activities are done throughout the week, ending with an awesome cosmic quilt.

  Art at Wilson is developing fine motor skills, self expression, creativity, and an appreciation for other cultures.

     And, while we have a light-filled classroom space for achieving these goals, art isn't limited to the dedicated art classroom time every grade-level receives. Wilson students also experience art in social studies, French, and technology classes, just to name a few, through the myriad of integrated learning curricula our wonderful faculty have developed. Wilson students also explore art and art history at the nearby St. Louis Art Museum, as well as other cultural institutions. Our children learn that art is everywhere! Would you like to see how our students learn to express themselves artistically through photography? Schedule a visit today to see how we lead children past the selfie to a wider view of the world. Did you know? Wilson students were selected to participate in a special Art Aficionados project at this year's St. Louis Art Fair. (less) ... Read more

  We believe every child possesses the potential for artistry in music, so we make it a priority for them to discover, enjoy, and understand it in every stage of their life at Wilson.

     Learning to play the xylophone, recorder, guitar, and five types of drums (in a percussion ensemble, no less!). Performing in a musical directed by the composer. Composing one's own music. Using innovative digital recording tools. These are experiences not of a select few at Wilson, but of every single student. Much like learning coding in technology, learning composition skills in music enables our students to become creators. That process has its own set of attendant challenges and joys and gets to the very heart of what it means to grow as a person. Do you love the idea of your child having the competence and confidence to sing in a choir in front of both peers and parents? Schedule a visit today! Did you know? Our music program philosophy is largely based on the work of teacher and composer Carl Orff. (less) ... Read more
