Students will learn about art and culture around the world in this class! For each class, students will focus on a different area of the globe, the customs and culture in that region, followed by an clay project that is themed around that geographic location. Students will glaze all work with bright underglazes! Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 10-12 days after the class session is finished. This class will surely be an exceptionally fun adventure!
Wednesday
Digital Photography for Kids
Kids have fun getting outside and learning about in-camera control. Learn about the functions in a digital camera while in automatic and manual settings. Each day students will show photographs on a projector and then discuss new techniques. Students go out in the field and take photos with the instructor during class exploring beautiful Park City. Students will either walk to local destinations, or will take city transit to visit the White Barn or other picturesque places. Students will have a small collection of photographs that tell a story by the last day of class, plus the skills and knowledge to continue on their own. This is a great way to have students learn to take awesome summer photos. No cell phone cameras, please.
Get Out and Draw for Kids
Students will enjoy the summer weather while learning to draw what they see outside. Students will go outside to find a view they would like to draw, and using a drawing board, paper, pencils, and colored pencils kids will draw a light sketch. Kylie will lead students in how to develop a drawing by slowly adding details and color. Throughout the week, students will use different materials including oil pastel, chalk pastel, and watercolors to create artwork au plein air!
Design, Carve & Print for Kids
In this class, students will learn about different types of printmaking such as, relief using foam and linoleum, using found objects (leaves, apples, string, etc.), and monoprinting. First, students will look around and find objects that they can use to make interesting relief style designs. Kids will also learn relief techniques using foam blocks and printmaking tools. Carving techniques will be taught using linoleum blocks, and finally, monoprinting will also be explored using small pieces of plexiglass, water soluble oil paint, and brushes. Students will have an entire edition of prints by the end of class!
Mixed Media Sculpture for Kids
Using a variety of different mediums, kids will explore the basics of 3D art. Creativity abounds as sculptures big and small are formed from the students’ imagination. Kids will work with clay, paper mache, wire, sculpey polymer clay, and cardboard in making individual and collaborative sculptures.
