Afternoon: Wearable Art: By examining the world of fashion, students will develop wearable art through the creation of design sketches, jewelry, and sewing.

Morning: Make an Impression: Patterns, Textures, and Printmaking: Campers will delve into exploring how artists create enticing patterns and prints through using different textures.  We’ll make our own stamps out of different materials including sponges, foam, and even objects from nature to explore the different textures we can create!  We will also make texture and pattern-filled collages and mosaics using mixed media.  We will look at examples of folk art and Pre-Columbian pottery at TMA to see how other artists use pattern and texture to create something unforgettable.

Afternoon: Textures of Nature: Focusing on the textures we see and find in nature, campers will be creating artworks inspired by the natural world around us. What shapes, lines, textures, colors and forms do we find in nature? Campers will put their inspiration into artworks such as prints, cyanotypes, drawings/paintings, and other art forms.

Morning: In the Round: This session will delve into sculptural artworks. Campers will discover various ways we can create artworks in the three dimensional realm. We will explore 3D art through media like clay and paper mache, starting from relief style artworks to fully in the round sculptures.

Afternoon: Just Paper: Fold, cut, roll, glue, tear, bend, and make paper. It is one of the most basic building materials for art making, and there is little that you can’t do with it. In this class we will try and see just how far we can go with a piece of paper. Students will have a chance to make their own paper, marbleize paper, learn classic origami techniques, build masks out of paper, learn some bookmaking techniques, and try many more experimental approaches that work with paper. Throughout the class we will be looking at classic traditional approaches as well as contemporary ideas. You’ll never look at a piece of paper the same way again.

Morning: Modern Art: Go back in time to learn about Modern Art. Experiment with new styles like Pop Art, Expressionism, Abstraction, and Pointillism. Express yourself new techniques like collage, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and more. Students will channel modern artists to see things a new way and use art materials in different ways.

Afternoon: Imaginary Creatures: Students will discuss folktales and explore objects on view in the Museum to brainstorm and learn about mythical creatures and animals.  They will create their own imaginary creatures from a variety of materials.

Morning: Around the World: Get your passports! This class will take you to continents, countries, and cultures around the world. We will study different art forms and practice techniques from all over the world using many different materials such as fabric, paint, wood, and clay. Start packing your bags!

Afternoon: Environmental Art: In this class, students will learn about the world around them by using the environment as their inspiration. Classes will include landscape art, sketching, printmaking, and more. Students will also use repurposed materials from nature to make artworks including mosaics, paintings, and sculptures.

Morning: Collage and Combination: During the week, students will explore and experiment with vibrant forms of expression through… PAPER! We will select, reorder and talk about our decisions. We will also learn about certain artists and see what they did with paper, too. Visiting a diverse array of uses, students will have the opportunity to explore freely in their practice.

Afternoon: Place: Exploring artistic connections through location. Students will explore place-based concerns such as what it means to be a desert dweller, and how architecture affects our experience of space.

Morning: Color: An exploration in color! Students will investigate color through the lens of an artist in order to develop new ways of approaching artwork with color and the colorful world that surround us all. The class will begin working in black and white and students will progressively employ more color until at the end of the week, students will have a portfolio filled with works of colorful art.

Afternoon: Scapes: In this class we will be exploring cityscapes, seascapes, and landscapes such as forests, deserts, sunsets, sunrises and skies.  We will observe many different art movements such as Realism, Expressionism, Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstraction by exploring books in the library collection and works of art on view in the Museum’s galleries.  Working from life observations and our imagination we will explore many mediums: drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture.  Focusing on the elements of art and the principles of design we will create our own masterpieces.
