Keiki
Preschool Mural Arts Class (Ages 2.5 – 5)
You and your preschooler will love this one-day mural arts class! Class includes developmentally-appropriate hands-on art experiences, guided gallery exploration, and outdoor play time—designed to keep young minds and bodies active and engaged! Your child and an adult guardian will enjoy an interactive art lesson based on the theme of mural art, experiment with various art media and tools, and create a work of art to take home. This class is made possible by generous support from the Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation. Pre-registration is required! Note: Please register for only one class per child. Although each session is the same class, if you would like to be on a waiting list to take the class for a second time, please call (808) 572-6560 ext. 21 and we will put you on a list to fill any available spaces as we get closer to the start date.

Explore & Discover: A Class Field Trip Collaboration Between Hui No`eau & The Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC)
Dates & Times Scheduled on a First-Come-First-Served Basis
The Stickwork sculpture is more than a beautiful work of art- it represents a well thought-out process of preserving our native Hawaiian forests and making a difference as a team. Bring your class to the Hui to join Hui teaching artists and MISC educators as we use the visual arts as a means of understanding the importance of protecting our natural island resources. Choose from projects like Form Changing Flip Books (to take home with you at the end of class), that illustrate the rate of introduction of different plants and insects to our Hawaiian islands or contribute to the Hui Ho`ololi Mural (to remain on Hui grounds), which illustrates the different tree species used in Dougherty’s sculpture, as well as colorful components of the country’s culture from which they derive.
Fee: $10 per student/ 10-student minimum.
