Weeks with Chelly Lisenby
July 1-3 Imagination Stations!
A student-led three day week where our imaginations are the limit as we play with mixed media. Students choose from a variety of guided art projects offered at different work stations.
July 29-August 2 Tie-Dye
Students will be encouraged to use multiple types of fabric dyes to make fantastic creations! We will use natural dyes as well as traditional tie dye powders and compare our creations to find what we like the most.
August 5-9 Nature & Art
Our nature themed week will encourage students to explore our natural world and use what is around us to make beautiful pieces of art. We will learn how to make pinecone flowers, pressed flower sun catchers, and flower petal paper that we will use to make our own journals! This week will be an exploration of the beautiful world outside.
Weeks with Celia Buchanan
July 8-12 Surfaces and Textures
Students will experiment with various mark-making techniques throughout the week, including printmaking, paper-mache, and acrylics. At the end of the week, they will create a low-relief or 3D structure that showcases the different surfaces they've created.
July 15-22 Color and Hue
During the workshop, students will learn diverse techniques to create colorful artwork using dry media, dyes, and paints. They will experiment with different hues and shades to develop a range of color-centric works. Toward the end of the week, they will construct either a 2D or 3D piece of art that best showcases their color experimentation.
August 19-23 Depth and Dimension
Students will explore techniques that use color, shade, texture, and shapes to create the illusion of depth and space. They will apply these techniques to produce a final piece that showcases their understanding of the concept.
August 26-30 Kinetic Art
During the week, students will use various materials like paint, dyes, plaster, and clay to create their artwork. They will also explore ways to animate their stationary images and transform them into dynamic and kinetic creations.
Week with Alyssa Hardy
July 22-26 Watercolor: Inspirations & Explorations
We will explore different watercolor techniques and use them to create artwork that is inspired both by the work of famous artists and our own lives.
Week with Kaytee Lipari Shue
August 12-16 Blossoms & Buds
Friends will design, draw, paint, create, and collaborate using blooming florals and interesting foliage as our inspiration. The workshop will include age-appropriate elements of botany and color theory.
