Join us as we explore the wild world of animals
through the eyes and artistic style of designer
and artist Charlie Harper. Each day, we create
unique animal artworks inspired by real live
creatures who visit our classroom from the
Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. Students explore ideas of ecology, natural habitat and the special characteristics of different

Join the team as we design an ultra-imaginative float for Aspen’s old-fashioned Fourth of

help win the title of “Best Children’s Float.”
We begin by developing a theme and then
spend the week painting, gluing and decorating props to turn the official Anderson Ranch
truck into a masterpiece! We top it all off by
creating costumes for students to wear while
walking alongside the float in the official parade
on Friday, July 4.
