Description

Join us for this first week of camp as we turn the spotlight on contemporary artist Nick Cave. Cave is most famous for his Soundsuits, a series of wearable works of assemblage. Part costume part sculpture, these works are whimsical, bright, and other-worldly. The campers will love Cave's sensibility of play and performance and his use of found objects!

Each week, our 6-10 year old campers will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life. Each 4 day camp will include a combination of two dimensional and three dimensional projects. As always, we will learn a lot, play, explore, and expand our understanding of art and the world around us!

Description

Join us this week as we turn our spotlight on the renowned work and life of Uruguayan-Spanish artist Joaquin Torres Garcia. Like Torres Garcia and his fellow Constructivists, we will break our subjects down into building blocks of shape, colors, and symbols. Some of our blocks will be drawn, some painted, and some will be wooden blocks put together to make people and towns!

Each week, our 6-10 year old campers will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life. Each 4 day camp will include a combination of two dimensional and three dimensional projects.

Description

This week we take a deep dive into the self made worlds of French artist, Niki de Saint Phalle. Saint Phalle was self taught and her work is still considered by some to be "outsider art." She is perhaps most well known as one of the few female sculptors ever to work on a monumental scale. She also made assemblage work and film, and she was a prolific illustrator. Her work is colorful, child-like, and mythical and sure to spark the campers' creative fire!

Each week, our 6-10 year old campers will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life. Each 4 day camp will include a combination of two dimensional and three dimensional projects.

Description

Join us this week as we turn the spotlight on the intriguing Swedish artist and mystic, Hilma af Klint. One of the first women to attend the Swedish Royal Academy of Fine Arts, she has recently gained recognition as the "mother of abstract art." Much of her work is large scale, giant paintings of other worldly symbols and shapes that came to her through meditation and dreams. Like af Klint, campers will work on a large scale and be inspired by their own dreams, as well as nature, science, math, and the symbols of world religions.

Each week, our 6-10 year old campers will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life.

Join us for the last week of our summer camp series, Artists in the Spotlight. We will take inspiration from beloved Filipino-American artist Pacita Abad. Abad was a painter, textile artist, and collagist. Campers will fall in love with her large scale paintings of underwater scenes, tropical flowers and animal wildlife. They will also have fun turning their paintings into sculptures using Abad's "trapunto" technique and adorning them with shells, buttons, and beads!
