Daily Art Project

Info: Daily Art Project: This will be different each day of the week. It will also be tied to our theme of Art Camp. Lessons that will be taught will be color theory, shapes and form, texture and patterns, composition and balance, drawing basics, 3D art and sculpting, perspective, art appreciation, self-expression, collaboration, and creativity. We make drawing robots, a fully written and illustrated storybook by them. We play many games to get the wiggles out. We believe kids are full of energy therefore we have an amazing playlist going and random dance parties are welcomed and encouraged. We aim to meet your child where they are and get to know how they are wired.

Big Art Project

Info: We aim to bring patience and persistence into our Art Camps. The second half of class each day is focused on a large art project. We have done paper mache, created moving robots, and community art murals, built a model of a city and garden that was 3D, and create art from recycled material.

They are given a team and work together to complete the task.
