Why are FAM workshops extra special?
- The visual art workshops allow students to explore their inner creativity.
- Art/theatre workshops teach kids all about stagecraft, story, and performance.
Get a taste of our Trashique-inspired workshops from previous summers by watching the videos below:
During the summer of 2013, twenty-five students between the ages of 6 and 13, under the direction of multi-media artist Leslie Batty, created their own unique fashion and costumes from trash at the Fresno Art Museum to go with a fabulous story inspired by the kids and entitled "Wasteland", by tony sanders, Artistic Director for Shine Youth Theatre. Take a look at Trashique for Kids video from summer 2013!
During the summer of 2014, students created Dominion Dance with SHINE!'s tony sanders and FAM art instructor Jaydee Pirtle. Students wrote, created props and costumes (some adapted from left-behind Trashique costumes), and performed. Click here to see the result.
