Students as the Teachers- Grand Rapids, MI
Theme: Story (so many FUN possibilities!)
Drawing/Painting with Acrylic and Watercolor/Paper Mache/Sewing/Printmaking/Cardboard Construction/Clothing Design/Story and Comic Character Design/Puppet Making and more.
As artists, we like the ability to express ourselves in a variety of ways, try new things to achieve our goals and work at our own pace.
For this reason, our spring break art camp has a very broad theme (Story) with daily inspiration that your child may choose to follow or they can work on their own ideas. Your child will be their own process art teacher, exploring ideas and working out challenges and trying new ideas, while we will help facilitate with guidance when they need it.
Each child will have a different outcome at the end of each day and week. Did they choose to create a village, characters in their story, costume pieces, a dragon out of paper mache? They decide!
We will start each day with an inspirational chat and planning period, followed by work flow time and brain breaks throughout the day as well as lunch at the lake, weather permitting. On Friday afternoon we will host a show with all of their imaginative work from the week!
What does your child need to bring? A lunch, a creative attitude and willingness to let their imagination run wild!
Please pack a nut-free lunch as well as a water bottle for your child. Snacks will be provided.
