Observe the world through an artist's eyes! Participants will learn to use proportion, light, shadows, and line work to make drawings come to life! Participants will practice techniques, create drawings of their very own, and learn to develop skills in idea generation and sketching. Instructor: Kenzie Lindsey

Participants will learn about modern master artists and the art forms and styles that make each unique in this clay camp. Projects may include: Clay Tiles with Piet Mondrian, Picasso Portraits, Sweet Treats with Wayne Thiebaud, and others as time allows. Our projects will be fired in a kiln and Amy will email parents with a pick-up date (usually 2-3 weeks after the last day of class). All tools and materials are included. No experience necessary. Please note: some of the projects in this camp will be new this year and some will be similar to last year. Keep in mind that any repeated projects will look different this year because your child has a whole year of experience and learning under their belt. If your child is registered for more than one clay camp, supervision is NOT provided between camps. Our instructor needs this time to reset the room. Instructor: Amy Uthus https://www.amyuthus.com/

Participants will complete projects designed to develop creativity, shape ideas, and strengthen technical skills using simple tools. Participants will grow their original ideas and ultimately create a short film! This course is very hands-on and includes guided instruction and feedback designed to promote individual creativity. First an idea, story, and characters will be developed and put together in a script.

Finally, video masterpieces will be shared with the class! Instructor: Matt Wagner
