Drawing
Working from nature, still-lives, photographs and independent ideas, students will be introduced to specific drawing fundamentals and techniques including line drawing, value, shape, pattern, texture, shading, perspective and composition. Personal style is celebrated.


Painting
Incorporating drawing fundamentals, students will add color mixing, layering, studies from art history and independent
ideas into their experience. Mediums explored are watercolors, tempera, inks and acrylic.


Clay/Wheel-throwing
Hand building techniques will be explored in workshops using pinch pots, solid build up projects, coiling, slab construction, slumping and draping methods. All items will be created with cone 5 clay, fired in our kilns and then hand decorated with underglazes and fired to final maturity. Wheel-throwing begins with learning to center clay, pulling up walls, shaping and the final detail of trimming a foot.


Printmaking
Discover the power of art, design and texture through printmaking. Students create their own designs and drawings, and learn about color theory working with different colored inks and paper.


Sewing
Use felt to create monsters, dolls, robots, pillows, puppets or anything the imagination brings. Camps will focus on backstitch, over sewing, blanket and running stitches. Also, learn how to applique and sew on patches to existing items such as clothes, pillows, canvas backpacks and cloth bags.


Mosaics
Mosaics are made up of small objects such as colored glass, stones, recycled materials, tiles, handmade figurines out of clay, handmade tiles, and broken china. Mosaic work will be created on wood mirrors, wooden sculpture forms, panels, stepping stones and flower pots. Terminology and technique will be discussed and color, pattern and design will be emphasized.


There are no make-ups for Fine Art Day Camps. A $45 non-refundable deposit reserves space in camps.
