Activities, Camps and After School Classes in Oakland, CA

Once a month CHS stays open after dark for a relaxed, social evening of art, pizza, and friends — while grown-ups get a night of their own! This month artists will build a bursting, layered star that pops off the wall. We'll paint cardboard stars in bright and neon tempera, then add leopard spots, dots and stripes with stencils and foam brushes. We'll eat pizza while the layers dry. Then we'll add gold accents, stack our stars from biggest to smallest, and finish with ribbon tails so they fly like shooting comets. We'll wind down with art films before the night ends at 8:45. Mixed ages 5–10. Little ones get more help and big kids get more room to run with it. This one isn't from our regular class curriculum — weekly students won't be repeating anything they've done.

In this 90-minute drop-in workshop, each registered artist gets a set of precut cardboard stars in graduated sizes and builds them into a bold, layered star that pops right off the wall. Artists cover each star in bright tempera, then use stencils and foam brushes to add patterns like leopard spots, dots, stripes and scales, and every point can get its own. A touch of metallic gold adds sparkle before artists stack their stars from biggest to smallest, turning each layer so the points peek out between the ones below. Teachers hot glue the stack together, and artists finish with ribbon and fabric tails that make their star trail like a comet, plus a loop for hanging on a tree, a door or a window.

Come create together with your favorite young artist and celebrate the season with a leaf big enough to hug! In this 90-minute drop-in workshop, each registered artist gets a giant cardboard leaf and a hands-on introduction to how color works. Artists start at the color wheel by choosing a “neighborhood” of three side-by-side colors. Then they sponge-paint and blend those colors across their leaf and discover how orange dabbed into red makes a brand-new color that isn’t in any bottle. Next, they reach straight across the wheel for a contrasting color and use a big, bold brush to add an outline and veins that make the whole leaf glow. Veins can be true to nature or completely invented, like stripes, ladders, or spirals for a leaf from a planet you made up. Inspired by Matisse’s cut-paper leaves and the brilliant color of the Fauves, these oversized pieces look striking on a wall or a front door, or grouped together as a seasonal display. Great for ages 4+ with a caregiver and a lovely way to make something together. Siblings welcome with a single caretaker! Each Workshop Registration Includes: One giant precut cardboard leaf Tempera paints, sponges, and big brushes 90 minutes of studio time with our wonderful teachers Ages 4+ with an adult caregiver or drop off optional 3 DAY CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY All reservations include a 20% non-refundable deposit.
