Arts

In this session, campers will explore a wide range of methods for creative expression. As part of the artistic process, we will practice looking at, talking about, and creating art of different subjects and media. We will consider work by artists like Van Gogh, O’Keeffe, and Hockney as a source of inspiration for developing our own individual self-expression. And most importantly, we will practice making art using techniques of painting, drawing, mixed-media, and collage.

In this class we will look at a variety of artists known for telling stories through images. Student-artists will engage in a process for developing original characters and then develop settings, action, and details that communicate the story of those characters. As a class, we will decide how much of the work is collaborative and how much is individual.

Each weekly offering follows a unique aspect/theme of the animal kingdom (like Slime & Scales or Heroic Dogs) for students to explore as they utilize various artistic mediums to capture and express their interpretations. Middle School and Upper School will meet at separate times. Student choice of which week(s) to register for. Please click here for descriptions of each week's theme.
