Spring Break Art Camps

It's that time of year again!

Spring Break!

Here are the camps being offered at the studio this time.  I will be trying some new things and also redoing a very popular camp from the past.  Hopefully I have created something for everyone.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS 

Here’s the chance to be inspired by the artist of British Columbia both past and present.  Create oil pastels inspired by the trees of Emily Carr, an abstract acrylic painting like Lawren Harris, try printmaking kindled by the works of Bill Reid, watercolor ignited by B.C. Binning, clay sculptures prompted by Joe Average, collage motivated by North Shore artist Dana Irving, and a large painting driven by the work of local artist Ross Penhall.  We will also explore the work of artist Molly Lamb Bobak, Jack Shadbolt, and Douglas Coupland in this fun class all about getting to know your neighborhood artist.

This class is suitable for children age 6 and up.

March 9-13

1-3pm

ART AND ANIMALS

Spend a week creating a variety of animal artwork.  We will create clay sculptures, acrylic paintings, learn to use a grid while trying our hand drawing enlarged animal eyes with oil pastels, dye paintings of our favorite underwater creatures, relief prints of jungle animals, graphite drawings of our favorite stuffed animals, and even discover how fun Yupo paper can be!  Students will be introduced to a wide variety of techniques and mediums while exploring the world of all things animal.  It is sure to be a fun week full of creative artwork.

This class is suitable for children ages 6 and up.

March 16-20

9am-12pm

The cost of each camp is $100.00 for the week and includes all materials. I am keeping the class sizes small so I can work individually with each child, so space is very limited.  Call 604-971-1147 to reserve your spot.

I also wanted to do a preteen and teen camp too.  I thought it would be fun to explore how artist have highlighted heroes and heroines whose message is important to them.  We will look at everything from Warhol to Grecian Gods.  Then students will have the opportunity to focus on who they want to honor in their own artwork.  This class will give students a chance to learn skills such a portrait work, composition, and most importantly a chance to give a voice to those people whose message has resonated in their personal lives.  A bit of history with their art, but shh!  don't tell them.  It will just be a lot of fun to learn new techniques in a variety of mediums including sculpture, printmaking, drawing and of course, lots and lots of painting!

HEROES AND HEROINES
