ELEMENTARY ARTIST CAMPS
Art and Nature Camp (June 10-June 14 and August 5-9; 9:00AM-11:00AM)
Ages: 5-12
Does your child enjoy nature? Exploring surroundings and collecting stones, shells, or butterflies? This camp will take us outside to observe plants, birds, and any natural treasures we can find. We will then incorporate them into our artwork. Feel free to bring in found objects to share in class. We will practice sketching and drawing techniques, but also collage and build 3D projects. Try something new and share ideas in a cohort of young artists in our art studio environment and direct instruction from an experienced artist and teacher.
Beginner Ceramics Camp (June 17-June 21; 9:00AM-11:00AM, July 1-5 (no class 7/4); 9:00AM-11:30AM and August 12-16; 9:00AM-11:00AM)
Ages: 5-12
Ceramics are clay pieces fired to a hard, durable "bisque," then "glazed" with a powdered glass paint which is fired again to create a hard, slick, waterproof, brilliantly-colored surface. Students will enjoy using a variety of clay colors and methods to create original pieces either as functional craft pieces coiled, rolled slab or hand-built into sculptures using additive and subtractive methods. When the pieces are ready to glaze, everyone loves picking from the many beautiful colors and textures of glazes to complete their work.
*The clay process takes two weeks, so it is recommended for students to sign up for two weeks of camp in order to complete their projects.
Drawing And Painting Camp (June 24-28, August 19-23; 9:00AM-11:00AM)
Ages: 5-12
Students with an interest in drawing and painting basics will learn various traditional methods of sketching, drawing, and rendering with an array of materials. They will review and explore basic painting techniques and color mixing. Work and styles by famous artists will be studied. Students will work toward trying new techniques and practicing with previously learned methods. Come join the fun during this summer combo camp! Rain or shine - we'll work outside on beautiful days!
Construction and Design Camp (July 15-July 19, 9:00AM-11:00AM)
