MASK MAKING: Spirits of the Rainforest (8:30am)
The art of maskmaking, rooted in the traditions of indigenous people who live in the Amazon rainforest region, is fast becoming a lost art. Work with artists Julie & Gustavo Boada to create your own mask inspired by those of indigenous people who still maintain a deep connection to nature. 

INSTRUMENT MAKING: Rain Forest Soundscape (10:15am)
The Amazonian basin is full of music made by birds, animals, and the sound of the tree canopy. Indigenous people have lived in Brazil for thousands of years in harmony with these sounds. Study some of the creatures that make this joyful noise, then work with an artist to make your own rainstick and flute using natural materials. 

For ages 6 – 8.
