Creativity is all about exploration! Children are
naturally inquisitive and creative and given the opportunity to explore with
guidance, can build upon their skills and transfer the creative process to
everyday life and learning. We are offering 2 weeks of our ‘more traditional‘
Creativity Camp that includes the works… 2 art classes, theater class and dance
class all interspersed with creative
writing and some math, science and history; 2 weeks of specialty focus camps; and 2 weeks of Art All Around Us - focusing on how art makes the world 'go round' in nature, at home, school, work, shopping, everywhere. Each week concludes with a Camper
Showcase on Friday at 4pm for parents and friends. ¨ In Art, we explore a variety of
2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art materials and techniques including: clay,
painting, printing and sculpture to develop manual dexterity. ¨ In Theater, we explore
character, storytelling and issues to
develop skills in personal expression in everyday life, as well as on stage
performance skills. ¨ In Dance, we explore personal movement,
patterns and rhythm to develop coordination and personal expression through
movement.
Campers should be registered one
week in advance to ensure enrollment. This is not a daycare program. No
drop-in’s. Teaching artists are professionals and have a weekly curriculum.
Campers take their artwork home. Camper Certificates will be awarded weekly .
Our special focus weeks are offered for campers to immerse
themselves in the artistic process, focus on creating and have time to reflect
and improve the product’s quality. Each week is limited to 30 campers—who will
be divided into 2 groups. Each group will participate for one-half day in each
Art and Theater program. Each camp will conclude with a program for parents and
friends on Friday at 4pm.
Focus Week: Painting/Mixed
Media, campers will use acrylic paints, watercolor paints and mixed media to
create flat and relief paintings. Emphasis will be on building skills while
creating attractive works of art.
Focus Week: Theater, campers will
create and stage a play from scratch based on their story(s), a personal or
public issue. Techniques include: improv, characterization, vocal training
(pitch, projection, tone) storytelling and ice-breakers to start the day.
