2024 Art Camp: Myself, My World (Waitlist only)
Let’s explore the all the things that we love and that make us who we are. For Myself, My World we’ll use a wide range of media.
Camp sessions are held from 9 to 3 Monday – Friday in Lucy's backyard studio in El Cerrito. Each week will end with a short art show on the patio at pick up on Friday.
Camps are for kids ages 6-13* and cost $540. There will be a limit of 8 campers per session. *Younger kids must have completed 1st grade.
Camps will be offered the weeks of June 10, 17 and 24th. (All camps are now full—Waitlist only)
Summer 2024's theme, Myself, My World, will give young artists the opportunity to explore a wide range of media creating art of and about ourselves.
Some examples of projects include:
Self Portraits learn the proportions of a face and practice drawing your own portrait in pencil or charcoal
Try other styles of self portraits too:
Animal self portraits: what animal do you think you would be?
We’ll read Wallflowers by (very!) local children’s book author, Mackenzie Joy, and then create self-portraits depicting ourselves either standing out or blending in to a background.
Use transparency film over a photograph of yourself to trace (and then paint) a portrait
Drawings and paintings of favorite places or objects
Strike a pose! We’ll use the Cricut machine to cut a stencil of your silhouette and then use it to create gel prints and mixed media collages
We'll also end the week with an acrylic painting on canvas with a subject of the artist's choice.
