Draw, Collaborate and Listen! With Alice Webber
We are back with a brand-new edition of art camp! Let's grow our drawing skills while creating a striking illustration portfolio. Working with a wide range of materials, artists will draw daily in their art journals, working from prompts, exercises, and their own imaginations. We will push boundaries and create larger scale pieces while exploring the basics such as noticing shapes in everyday objects and drawing over paint. Our artists will come together to contribute to a collaborative illustration mural to share alongside their individual pieces in the art show on Friday!
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Color and Collage with Ted DeMille & Susan Pelis
In this workshop, students will integrate painting, collage, songs, poetry, and games into a week of creativity. Young artists will make hand-painted, textured paper with watercolor on wet paper. They will use salt, sponges, Plexiglas, plastic wrap, straws, and marbleizing techniques to create a variety of natural settings illustrating water, sky, various lands, and times of day. These papers will be the raw materials for creating collages that tell picture stories. Collage themes will be self-directed, but the collage illustrations of Leo Lionni, Lois Ehlert, Steve Jenkins, and Eric Carle will be shared as inspiration.

Places and Spaces Bookmaking with Emma Paterson-Dennis
Taking inspiration from our own wonderful Earth, we’ll journey into ones of our own creation through books and interactive art! We’ll use drawing, small sculpture, found materials, and anything else we can think of to reimagine the places we visit every day or once upon a time.

Passion For Prints with Alice Webber
This week, we will walk step by step through the process of linocut prints, a fun way to add art and design to paper and fabric! Artists will explore this medium while incorporating drawing skills, learning to build texture and depth with new carving techniques, integrating painting to add color and depth to designs, and collaborating with fellow artists to create a collection of printed pieces.
