My Summer Art Camp 2009 schedule kicks in on Monday, June 8. Thought I'd give a quick summary of the fun that's in store at my studio in New Braunfels for kids ages 5 to 13 this summer. As of this this writing, I still have room in all of the camps but some are getting close to full.
JUNE 8-11: The morning camp from 9:30-11:30 for kids 5-9 is titled
"Prehistoric Times." This is the second year I've offered this dino-themed camp and the kids love it. I'd say "especially the little boys" but I had a couple of girls last year who were busting with pride over the huge paper maché dinosaurs they created and painted. The afternoon camp from 1-3 p.m., titled
"Painting: Sunsets and Still Life," is geared toward ages 8-13. The children will complete 2 paintings on stretched canvas in the 4-day camp!
JUNE 15-18: "Pet are our Pals" is a new camp I'm offering this summer for the younger kids. Children will bring a photo of their pet for a painting project and create a paper maché cat or dog and personalize a pet placemat. The afternoon camp will all about drawing. In this
"Ready, Set, Draw" camp, we'll learn how to really look at objects and improve drawing skills.
JUNE 22-25: The morning camp this week is another new one.
"Hurray for Horses" is just for the horse lover who also loves art! Students will draw and paint horses and decorate a box with a carousel of horses and ponies. The afternoon camp explores the world of color.
"Painting - Experiments with Color" will take the students through assignments where they'll create a color wheel and learn how colors work with and against each other. The featured project will be a self portrait painting inspired by Andy Warhol's "Marilyn" series. I did this project in several camps two years ago and the kids -- and parents -- loved it!
JUNE 29-JULY 2: Ages 5-9 will go on a safari to the rainforest in the morning camp titled
"Tropical Safari." Projects include drawing and painting and creating a fantastic paper maché animal mask. In the afternoon, it's all about girls ages 8-13 as I offer my first-ever
"Girl Power" art camp! The featured project for this camp is a large, Georgia O'Keeffe-inspired floral painting on canvas. We'll also design some jewelry and decorate a keepsake box.
Camps continue weekly through mid August. You can read more and download a complete brochure and registration form
