Camp Programs 2006
Adventures in Clay
Come and get your hands dirty! Make clay animals, cups, bowls, containers, sculpture and more. We’ll fire it in our kiln and you’ll pick the glaze.
Art Studio Explorations
We’ll do recycle art, glass painting, watercolors, clay and much
more this week.
Cartooning
You don’t need to have the best drawing skills to create fun and
exciting cartoons, you just need some basic tips, a good story and the
right tools. We’ll start off with easy to do sketches and finish
with a cartoon booklet in full color!
Creative Writing
From poetry to adventure writing, we’ll do exercises that are fun and easy to get your creative juices flowing.
Dare To Be Dramatic!
Play improvisational acting games and work as a group to write and perform
in your own play. Also, help make props and a set and give a performance
at the end of the week!
Drawing and Painting
Learn how to make everyday objects come to life by using soft drawing pencils and specific shading techniques. Use acrylic paints to create landscapes – both from your imagination and from life…
The Great Egyptian Adventure
Learn the secrets of Egyptian style code making and solve the mystery
of a hidden treasure.
Jewelry-making
Come make rings, bracelets, necklaces, head-pieces,… you name it! We will use metal and colored wire (plastic-coated wire for those under 8) and glass beads to create some wacky wearable art.
The World of Wizardry
Solve mysterious puzzles, create your own magic wand and cape and take part in the world of wizardry.
Magic Bag of Tricks
Every magician needs their own bag of tricks. Create your magic bag, magic wand, magic cape and learn the art of performing tricks that will amaze your friends.
Masks and Puppets
Make playful and brightly colored cardboard masks with wire and found object attachments. Create beautiful hand puppets with paper-mache heads and fabric bodies.
Papermaking and Book Arts
Make paper by hand and learn to marbleize and paste-paint in order to create colorful decorative papers! Also, make pop-up cards and a double-bound notebook that comes with a pencil holder.
Watercolour Painting
Learn the basics and then let loose. We’ll play with washes and splatter and then paint some still life objects too.
The Wonder of Wire
Learn how to make 3-dimensional art with wire. We’ll make mobiles and standing sculptures using found objects, fabric and metal pieces as well as wonderful wire!
