Construction July 1 - 5
Ascend to new heights! In this sculpture class, students will build up, over, and beyond. New, found, and repurposed materials will be used to create free-standing sculptures, wall assemblages, and a collaborative installation. Balance, depth, and height will be tackled as we create new worlds and investigate methods of construction. Artists such as Franz West and Jean Dubuffet will be discussed. Botanical Beauty July 8 - 12 Nature is the starting point for all art, in both materials and inspiration. Projects will include pressing flowers, creating paper cutouts of botanical silhouettes, painting from flower arrangements, and more! We will be looking at the work and ideas of artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O’Keeffe. Early Art July 15 - 19 Students will study some of the earliest art periods – ranging from the Stone Age to the Renaissance. Working with clay, sand, stones, plaster, and other primary art materials and tools, students will make artworks inspired by pictures, mythologies, and artifacts from the past. Projects will include making clay coil pots, painting a Fresco, and designing a motif based on Islamic geometric patterns. Woodstock Crafts July 22 - 26 This camp brings a piece of the woods to the city with time-honored outdoorsy crafting. Kids will get stained creating natural tie dyed cloth and get rough with wood and nail hammering. Projects will also include sewing, embroidering, and many other crafty pastimes. Kids will learn a variety of crafting techniques while creating a bundle of summertime treasures to take home. Patterns & Prints July 29 - August 2 Embracing polka dots, stripes, animal prints, and checks, we will focus on the details and abundance of pattern making. Kids will create artworks using our collection of unique printed papers and fabrics. They will also create a series of their own one of a kind patterns using stamps, printing techniques, inks, and paints. Kids will find inspiration from the dazzling artworks of artists such as Bridget Riley and Yayoi Kusama, along with other pattern-infused works such as quilts and Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. Mexico August 5 - 9 Students will study the intriguing and vibrant artwork of Mexico – ranging from Frida Kahlo’s paintings and Diego Rivera’s murals to folk arts and cartonería. Use of color will be emphasized and special attention will be given to learning the artistry of each method. During the week kids will create piñatas, Magic Realist self-portraits, Dia de Los Muertos crafts, y mucho más! Punk Art August 12 - 16 Kids will look back at 70’s and 80’s era do-it-yourself ethics and aesthetics. The boldly designed artworks (posters, zines, clothing, and cartoons) in the punk rock movement were eye catching and jaw dropping. Kids will experiment with early punk art materials such as Xeroxes, fluorescent paints, and stencils as well as other unconventional tools and methods. Modernism August 19 - 23 Make a splash! This week is a celebration of being an artist and making art. Kids will create artworks that champion paint, paper, felt, wire, brushes, lines and more. Art projects will focus on painting and drawing along with some sculpture. We will look at a wide range of artists from Piet Mondrian to Jean-Michel Basquiat. Drawing & Painting Techniques August 26 - 30 Students will practice their drawing and painting skills as they learn advanced mark making techniques and try out a variety of materials. Experimentation, observation, and attention to detail will be emphasized. We will also explore the use of color, design, and composition. Both abstract and representational endeavors will be encouraged. We will also be looking at unusual techniques in artworks by artists such as Max Ernst and Helen Frankenthaler. Light/Shadow September 2 - 6 When the sun shines through a stained glass window or creates a rainbow through a prism, light is a magical experience. In this class, students will create artworks that use light as a key ingredient – as well as translucent, transparent, and reflective materials. Projects will range from creating sun catchers to putting on a collaborative light show! |
