Fun with Fundamentals!

Join us this week as we turn our attention toward the most
foundational element of visual art there is: line! Campers will take
inspiration from the gestural lines of the abstract expressionists, the
heavy contour lines of Roy Lichtenstein and the pop artists, the
whimsical, wondering lines of Joan Miro as well as the sharp, bold lines
of op art painter Bridget Riley. To investigate the way line supports
rhythm, students might look at Agnes Martin, Sonia Delaunay, or Frank
Loyd Wright. Most importantly, campers will make works with their own
lines, finding a rhythm and style all their own.

Each week, our
6-10 year old campers will take a deep dive into the elements of art and
principles of design. They will look at work by artists that exemplify
and exalt these basics, as well as create their own original art that
does the same. Each 4 day camp will include a combination of two
dimensional and three dimensional projects and, as always, we will learn
a lot, play, explore, and expand our understanding of art and the world
around us!

Join us this week as we turn our attention toward the element of
visual art that is so rich and multi-faceted it can stand alone:
texture! Campers will learn how texture can be implied or real. They
will play with paper mache, fabric, mixed media, assemblage, and palette
knife painting, taking inspiration from the likes of Meret Oppenheim,
Betye Saar, Nick Cave, and Jackson Pollock!

Join us this week as we focus in on scale and balance! Often used
by artists to effect viewer perception, these two principles of design
lend themselves to experimentation and manipulation. Scale, ranging from
the miniature to the monumental, will be explored through the works of
the surrealists, monumental sculptors such as Claes Oldenburg and Niki
de Saint Phalle, and the miniature worlds of doll houses and collector's
shelves. Our balance project will be sculptural and require quick
thinking and the willingness to experiment!

Join us for our final week of Fun with Fundamentals as we explore
pattern and emphasis, two principles of design that both guide and
thrill the viewer's eye! Campers will take inspiration from the repeated
motifs of traditional cultures the world over, as well as the quilters
of Gee's Bend, Anni Albers, Gustav Klimt, and Yayoi Kusama. And no one
knows the art of emphasis like the ancients, so campers will also travel
back in time this week to Egypt, Greece, and Rome!
