Summer Morning Camp at Red Bow Studio

COST: $150 Per week includes all materials.
Three mornings a week from 9:30AM to 12 Noon.  
We will focus on a single area of art and create artwork portraying what we have learned.  These classes are for children ages 6-10 who are serious about their artwork and would like to spend their mornings creating in an intimate studio setting with friends.  We will be learning techniques and skills in each area that they will be able to use beyond the class.  We will also have a lot of fun.  Due to studio size, there is a maximum of six students per week.  Sign ups are per week and you may sign your child up for as many or few weeks as you like.

Week 1 Printing June 28,29,&30

In the first week of mini-camp we will learn about printing with foam, plastic stamps and stencils.  On the first day we will work with brayers and stamps to create simple prints.  The other days the campers will create their own designs and then print them.

Week 2 Paint A Canvas July 5,6,&7

The second week of camp will be spent with acrylics painting a canvas. On the first day we will sketch out our ideas and draw them onto our canvas.  The second and third days will be spent working with the acrylic paints, focusing on color and form.

Week 3 July Bookmaking 12,13,&14

In the third week we will work with simple types of bookmaking, creating different small books and learning about how they can be used in everyday life.  Our creations will include a stab stitch sketchbook and an accordion book.
Week 4 Still Life Painting July 19,20,& 21
Our forth week will focus on still life painting.  We will learn all about the face and body and use it to create drawings and paintings.  By the end of these three days, your camper will be confidant in drawing the human body.

Week 5 Create a Shrine July 26,27,&28

In week five we will create a shrine out of a cigarbox.  Each child will choose a theme for their “shrine” and then paint and embellish the box based on their ideas. 

Week 6 Portrait Painting August 2,3,&4

Our sixth week will focus on still life painting.  We will learn all about the face and body and use it to create drawings and paintings.  By the end of these three days, your camper will feel confidant drawing the human body.
Week 7 Collage  Modge-Podge Aug 9,10,&11
In week seven, we will spend our time cutting with scissors and pasting modge podge.  We will decorate a home item that can be used for the years ahead (It might be a lamp or a tray- I haven’t decided yet.  Ideas welcome!)
