It might be messy, but it sure to be fun! Campers play and learn with colors in various media from paint to sculpture and use the most innovative methods to create art. Be ready for the kinds of projects that have to be done in an art studio!
Friday
OFF SITE Summer Camp- Cartooning
If you love cartoons, get ready for an unforgettable week! Learn all about different cartooning styles and techniques, explore character creation, storyboarding and learn about the history of cartooning. From quick sketches to color drawings, students will create many exciting pieces by the end of the camp week.
OFF SITE Summer Camp- Art About Space
Explore the stars, planets, spaceships, astronauts and even aliens in this multimedia camp. Each day campers will work with a new media from paint to recycled art to create projects inspired by space adventures.
Magical Vessels in Clay
Take a look at historical ritual vessels and build a unique “Transmutation Station” using hand-building ceramic techniques like coil and slab building. These creations will be receptacles for student’s concerns and hopes, akin to a diary, but instead of preserving one’s thoughts, they will transform and release them. The goal of this class is to learn and develop ceramic hand-building skills, while making tools for personal support and use.
