SUMMARY:Snapology: School Half Day Workshop - Brick Art & Design: Abstract Art
DESCRIPTION:Snapology’s Brick Art & Design: Abstract Art Workshop\nIn this creative\, half-day workshop\, students will explore the world of abstract art and the artists who shaped it. Through hands-on building using LEGO® and guided activities\, students will examine the whimsical landscapes of Van Gogh\, the bold abstraction of Picasso\, and the geometric designs of Mondrian. They’ll learn how artists communicate ideas through color\, shape\, and pattern and then create their own abstract masterpieces inspired by these iconic styles. \nAlong the way\, students will:\n• Build Art History Knowledge – Discover influential artists across history and design LEGO® builds inspired by their techniques.\n• Strengthen Presentation Skills – Share their creations in a fun\, low-pressure environment that builds confidence and comfort speaking in front of peers.\n• Practice Teamwork – Work with partners and small groups to plan\, build\, and collaborate while developing positive\, respectful communication skills.\nThis workshop blends creativity\, art appreciation\, and playful learning—perfect for students who love building\, designing\, and expressing themselves through hands-on projects! \nDrop-Off & Pick-Up Instructions\nThe workshop will take place inside The Gallery at Fivesparks (on the main floor in the back). \nFor safety and to help protect the art exhibits upstairs: Caregivers must sign children in and out directly from the classroom. Please come to The Gallery at pickup so we can dismiss your child safely. Families can choose for their child(ren) to be walked from HES to Fivesparks as a group by Snapology staff.  \nLunch & Snacks\nPlease pack: A nut-free lunch\, two nut-free snacks\, & a water bottle\nWe’ll have dedicated snack and lunch breaks throughout the day. \nThis school half-day workshop is appropriate for kids ages 5-12.  $70/participant \nClick HERE to register for this workshop. \n_____________________________________________________________________ \nSnapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs worldwide.

SUMMARY:An Afternoon of Irish Music with Sarah Collins & Jonathan Vocke
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Collins and Jonathan Vocke bring a fresh take to Irish music\, pairing traditional fiddle melodies with old time two-fingered banjo. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic traditions that Sarah grew up with in the Boston area and the old-time and folk scene that Jonathan calls home in Baltimore\, the pair explores the space at the intersection of these musical styles. The music they create together is first and foremost about groove\, and plays with the balance of lightness\, sensitivity\, and grounding. The program of music will include Irish\, Scottish\, and Old Time tunes and songs\, featuring fiddle\, guitar\, and banjo. \nSarah grew up in Harvard\, graduating from Bromfield in 2010\, and is excited to return to town and share her music with family and friends. \nAll are welcome.  Tickets ($20) will be sold at the door via cash\, Venmo or Paypal.
