Kaleidoscope

 

A summer arts program

A kaleidoscope treats the viewer to a shimmering, shifting view of the world. The Kaleidoscope Summer Arts Program treats children ages 6-9 to a similarly enchanting experience.

Participants learn basic music theory as they prepare songs and music. They do extensive drawing, painting and sculpture work. Dance elements and creative drama are introduced through the study of movement, character and performance practice.

Children are guided through this three-week intensive arts program by professional artists/educators: Donna Peckett, an award-winning choreographer and arts educator; Sue Moberly, art teacher, professional artist and co-author of the Madison Metropolitan School District’s elementary visual art standards; and Andrea Van Hof, music educator, flutist, general music teacher at Northside Intermediate School in the Milton School district and swim instructor at Lapham Elementary School in Madison.

The program culminates with an art exhibit and final sharing for family and friends, showcasing the children’s work.

HISTORY

growing and changing

The Kaleidoscope Program was developed in 1991 by Barbara Goy, accomplished music educator and founder of Madison’s Preschool of the Arts. Designed to foster creative development in children, Kaleidoscope was sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Extension for 13 years. Barbara retired in 2002.

Today, Kaleidoscope is administered by TAPIT/new works, a Madison-based non-profit professional arts organization, founded in 1985 by Donna Peckett and Danielle Dresden.
