Segmented into four individual, week-long sessions in July, the hive is a full-day program running from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with early drop-off available at 8:30 am.
Experienced instructors and assistants with backgrounds in the arts and sciences will lead the sixty participants.
Moving between small group exploration and large-scale collaboration, the hive participants will have abundant opportunity to experience the connections between art and nature, creativity and science, and themselves and the environment, all through dynamic activities:
July 8–July 12, 2013: Vegetable, Animal, Mineral Using Los Angeles-based artist Fritz Haeg’s Domestic Integrities installation in the Sculpture Park as a jumping-off point, kids will grow their own garden spaces through designing, building, and planting.
July 15–July 19, 2013: Artist, Scientist, Citizen Kids will collaborate with Boston artist Jane Marsching on her summer Sculpture Park project, Field Station Concordia, in order to discover how artists and scientists are working with everyday citizens to record, map, and re-imagine the local landscape.
July 22–July 26, 2013: Trees, Tools, People With San Francisco artist collective Futurefarmers, kids carve objects and create shared experiences from a felled tree as part of the participatory Sculpture Park installation, Tree University, using deCordova’s own fallen trees as a primary medium.
July 29–August 2, 2013: Birds, Seeds, Bees Kids will work alongside Boston artist Andi Sutton as they engage with her summer Sculpture Park installation, Assisted Flagration, to explore seeds, growth, and beauty in changing environments.
Participants in the hive will begin each morning in age-specific groups of twelve, engaging in activities such as walks through the Sculpture Park to draw or photograph the varied landscape, investigations of art on view in the Museum, and hands-on projects inside the studios.
Afternoons will be spent collectively as a group, constructing a larger project in the Sculpture Park, which will be celebrated by the entire deCordova community each Friday afternoon.
