In every human there exists a potential creative faculty. This does not mean that each person is a painter or a sculptor, but that there is latent creativity in every domain of human effort. ~Joseph Beuys
Creative Outlet is a 15 week after-school program that prepares young students for the future by stimulating their imagination and creativity through the making of visual art. Children explore meaningful ideas and processes that lead toward authentic work in a variety of media such as clay, collage, papermaking, printmaking, painting and drawing. They will experience art making with guest artists such as Kazue Honma (Fiber Artist) and Tanja Softic (Print Maker). As the semester progresses, students work collaboratively, in turn practicing their communication skills by engaging in large scale collaborative projects. Class size is limited, offering each child plenty of individual attention.
In the past two years our instructors have created art curriculum through The Garden Project and will continue to do so with themes weaving concepts of recycling, cultural diversity, and endangered species of our world. This year we will expand our after-school program to include excursions developed in collaboration with the Kona Outdoor Circle (KOC). There will be a guided tour of the cold water gardens led by mentors at the West Hawaii Explorations Academy and a KOC guest instructor that will teach students about vermicomposting at the Mill.
Children involved in previous DMAC after-school programs will have an opportunity to continue a higher level of exploration in art making as instructors create specific projects that challenge and support your child's area of interest.

The Summer Art Experience is an art intensive summer program for youth spanning an exciting five weeks at The Donkey Mill Art Center. Guest Artists include local artists and craftsman as well as Artist in Residence Yarrow Lutz from N.Y.C. who brings urban concepts to Hawaii's natural setting. No matter where we are in the world the sense of community will always remain the same and students will explore these dynamics along with global perspectives through an array of art and design traditions. This summer our art studies will also explore human culture vs. plant / animal culture through a diverse mix of mediums including drawing, painting, Hawaiian crafts, ceramics, performance, movement, gardening, installation, and mixed media projects. The summer culminates in a Art Exhibition and Presentation where students share their accomplishments with their families and community.
