    Do we love color? Yes we do!  Isn't there something splendid about a prism?! We will be learning about the fracturing of light in a fun outdoor activity .Let's get out our ROY-G-BIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet) colors and attempt the challenging task of learning how to paint a rainbow, one that looks real as it is seen in nature. Kids will be working on landscapes and colorful animals like rainbow fish, chameleons, peacocks, iridescent beetle bugs, and fancy roosters. Colored pencils will be used, including shimmer colors, chalk pastels, paper quilling and paint. Let's add some of the most brilliant rainbow anime characters as well! Experimental practices will be utilized like beautiful ink applications. You will be impressed with our colorful art that will be presented in a Gallery Show following class on the final day! Taught by Artist/Instructor of The Artist's Apprentice.

    Let's spend these sunny mornings creating fun sculpture! We will be making an animal out of self-drying clay including an array of embellishments, as well as flora design out of other pliable medium for our modeling portion of the program. Transforming to a lesson in carving, kids will make characters, out of Model Magic, who will scale a wall constructed out of chiseled Styrofoam. (All carving tools are kids-friendly.)  Some of our pieces, including pottery, will be adorned with painted designs first accomplished in colored drawings to achieve the best motif. Celtic, Inuit, and Greek reference books will be available for inspiration, or come up with your own unique design! These, along with other fabrications will culminate in a 'Viewing of Creations' of our students' artwork that will be extended to families on the last day of camp. Don't miss this fun experience!
