Kids get to draw and paint portraits of the people and critters that are central to their lives, including themselves. Silly, serious and/or full of make believe portraits tell stories about both the subject and the artist. Students learn about adding supporting elements to art that help reveal the true nature of the subject. Kids will work with dry media as well as acrylics on canvas board. Printed, student-supplied photo reference of subject matter is required.
Fall Break Art Kids Camp
Come have fun and explore mixed media art with Cameron in this 2 day art camp! Students will doodle, sketch, paint, layer, glue and have fun as they create unique pieces of art! Kids will take a break mid-day to eat lunch and relax. After lunch, students return to class for creative free time, and a PG rated movie. We will provide popcorn for the movie – please notify staff if your child has any allergies! Spaces fill fast – register in advance to reserve your space!
Birds in the Aspen Tree
Tots have fun learning about the textures and colors of local aspen trees while making art. Anna will lead fun painting exercises to help students create beautiful aspen tree paintings. Students will also learn about local birds that live in the mountains. Using watercolor wax resist techniques, Anna will show students how to make birds, creating a painted collage for students to take home. This is a great art lesson in layering and collage that little ones will love!
Winter Art Wonders for Tots
Winter is magical and it’s fun to make art to celebrate the season. Tots will paint wondrous winter landscape paintings, cut and paste snowflake shapes, and build snowy sculptures out of clay. Each day will have a new wintery adventure in store! Tots learn valuable creative skills while having a blast.
Autumn Leaf Suncatchers
Have fun with Anna in making beautiful autumn leaf suncatchers with tissue paper and a variety of leaf shapes. Tots will learn about fall colors and the changing seasons as they create their suncatchers to place in their windows at home.
Tots Turkey Pots
Join Cameron in the studio as he teaches students another fun clay project that celebrates Thanksgiving. In his simple step-by-step process, he will show students how to create adorable clay turkey pots to adorn any fall table and to display for years to come. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 7-10 days after the class.
