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! No class 7/24. This camp is offsite at Mcpolin Elementary School.
Week 7 (July 22-26)
Whimsical Clay Creations
In this teen clay camp imagine and engineer sculptural machines using hand-building techniques such as coil and slab building. These whimsical contraptions, reminiscent of Rube Goldberg designs, can serve various purposes: they can perform tasks, enhance decor, or contribute to personal rituals. For example, you might create a clay machine that clears negative thoughts or perhaps a decorative piece that doubles as a candle holder. In this class, the possibilities are endless as we make our clay sculptures interactive!
All work will be fired and ready for pick up at the Kimball Art Center 14 days after your class. We do not ship class work.
Paper Mache Sculptures
Unlock your creativity and sculpt your imagination in our paper maché class designed specifically for teens. Dive into the world of three-dimensional art as you learn the time-honored techniques of paper maché. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll master the art of paper mache, from building armatures to layering paper and applying finishes.
Art from Around the World
Kiddos will learn about cultures, history and art from different places around the world. Inspired by this learning they will experiment with many materials and create their own artwork from painting to sculpture.
