SUMMER CAMP: Week 4

We had a lively week with Pop-Art! The kids made comic books, posters, food-wrapper collages, bubble paintings, pop object sculptures, xerox self-portrait multiples, and paintings and sculptures inspired by Lichtenstein and Warhol. They also wrote a song about sillybands. Their song can be heard by following this link:

SUMMER CAMP: Week 3

This week's camp was so much fun!!! Our theme this week was Light. The kids made artworks in which light was a key component -- such as sun catchers, Lite-Brite works, wire, stick, and bead hangers, kaleidoscopes, and more... Throughout the week they put on several experimental light shows and the kids on Friday performed using their own shadow puppet creations.

Two videos of those performances can be seen by following these links:

SUMMER CAMP: Week 2

The summer fun continues! We just completed week two -- our theme was Sculpture & Assemblage. The kids made works inspired by artists such as Joseph Cornell and Mark Dion. They created a lot of big three-dimensional artworks using wood, magazines, cardboard, papier mâché, pipe cleaners, straws, beads, found objects, and more!

SUMMER CAMP: Week 1

We had a lot of fun this week starting off our summer camps! This week's theme was The Freely Made (inspired by Abstract Expressionism). The kids made works inspired by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Franz Kline, and Jackson Pollock. The kids threw paint; painted with string, marbles, and house brushes; painted to music; made India ink drawings on phone book pages; made soak-stains; painted on the floor -- and more! We also had a great time running around on our back deck and in the sprinkler. Looking forward to the weeks ahead!
