We hold lower elementary art workshops (preK-2nd) at The Painted Cloud studio. Young artists work on art projects specially planned by teaching artists for this camp, along with drawing, choice time (games, puppets, reading), snack, lunch, and outdoor play at the Rodney Street Playground (2 blocks from The Painted Cloud).
****THIS CAMP SPECIFICALLY:::Surrealism & Fact
(PERCEPTION(s) OF REALITY(ties))
Perceptions - we create new ones everyday, whether imagined or based in real life! This camp, young artists will investigate daily perceptions through one-of-a-kind drawings, paintings, collages and prints. This week, young artists' dreamlike musings will come to life as they explore the idea of layering; combining immediate thoughts with action driven techniques such as relief printmaking, collaging and automatic drawing! We will discuss the concepts of automatism and intention as young artists create projects including Masks, Wands, Optical Illusion Collages, Dream Catchers, Finger Puppets, and Yves Tanguy Monochrome Watercolor Paintings. For inspiration, we will be looking at the works of Unica Zürn and Paul Klee, and how they implement immediate thoughts and observations to create fantastic illusions!
Following our morning choice time at The Painted Cloud, our PreK-3rd graders will take an observation walk to Rodney St Playground to play a game expanding on the camp theme!
Over the course of the week, we will take over the studio to create projects including : Paul Klee Figurative Relief Prints , Andre Breton Illustrated Anagrams , Unica Zürn Intuitive Pattern/Automatic Drawing, Salvador Dali Dreamscape Collage
, Frida Kahlo Alter Ego Pastel Portraits, Leonora Carrington Mythical Creature Sculptures
