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!
Friday
Print, Paint, Repeat for Kids
Dive into the art of printmaking! Using wood blocks, kids will learn how to build surfaces onto the block to create images and prints. Kids will also learn about relief printmaking, where students carve into foam to make beautiful impressions. Some everyday objects can be used in printmaking, and Janice will show kids what can be used so they can try printmaking at home! Kids will leave class with a series of prints and a new skill!
Shapeland for Kids
Students will explore shapes in this class, and how they can form stamps, prints, and textures. Kids will be making projects using rolling pins, creating their own stamps, and exploring how to use common everyday objects to make beautiful paintings.
Nature Art for Kids
Kids will explore their creativity outside in the sunshine learning how to collage, draw, paint and sculpt using natural materials such as leaves, flowers, and twigs. Students will learn and talk about well-known “earthworks” or “land art” while learning about the environment and how to make eco-friendly artwork.
Kids Printmaking Workshop
Get out of school and into the art studio! In this class, students will learn about the basics of relief printmaking. Throughout the day students will learn how to plan their composition and carve their vision into foam blocks to print a relief piece. Students will look at Picasso, Hans Holbein, Hokusai, Tom Huck and other artists for inspiration. By the end of the class students will have a good understanding of how printmaking works as well as a multi-copy edition of their work.
Rainforest Art Adventure
Learn about the animals that fly through the canopy and dwell in the dense forest floor while creating and having fun. Tots will draw, paint, cut, and paste to create exotic animals and lush landscapes, bringing their rainforest adventure to life! After the art projects are finished for the day, students will go outside to play games as a reward for their hard work creating! Parents do not need to accompany children in this class.
