Young artists will be using their imagination and exploring diverse materials and techniques. They will be staying fit with Creative Movement exercises while making new friends.
The theme of this summer for the Senior group (ages 8 to 12) is Exploring art around the world.
Every week of our camp will consist of several art projects including painting with acrylic or watercolour, drawing and sculpting. Some well-known and not as famous yet artworks will be studied. Art history and styles of various art movements will be learned and practiced. Children will participate in group and individual fun activities.
Below are themes for the Junior students age (4-7):
| 1st Week (July 4th- 8th): Animals and their habitats | Animals live everywhere on earth, in every kind of terrain and type of climate. A habitat is where an animal lives and creates a home. This week students will learn about the various animals around the world and their habitats. Each day, we will be exploring different animals, such as bears, birds, reptiles and tigers. This week will consist of fun projects where students will gain a better understanding of animal’s environments and characteristics. _________________________________________________________________________ |
