I am pleased as punch to be back in the community after five years and to be able to offer SUMMER ART CAMPS!!!

 

THINK LIKE AN ARTIST (FOR TWEENS)

MONDAY, JUNE 9 - THURSDAY, JUNE 12

Ages 9-12 $350

In this class we will dive into how artists think and develop some of those critical thinking skills. We will explore a TON of art techniques: printmaking, collage, painting, drawing—all sorts of mixed media. Your student will learn new techniques but also have lots of time to develop their own unique plans for their own unique art! We will split our days between technique lessons, art discussions, and studio work time. Fair warning: glitter may be involved. ; )

Here is a rough idea of the schedule. Of course this is all subject to change, depending on what the needs of the class are. At this time, the best way to sign up is to call or text me directly at 907-952-4299.

Monday: getting to know you, art games, art discussion, painted paper demo, collage demo, fiber arts demo

Tuesday: drawing/painting warm up, how to think and plan like an artist, studio work time, gold leaf demo

Wednesday: drawing/painting warm up, printmaking demo, how to think and plan like an artist, studio work time, painting demo
