| The great art of bubble catching Art Camp 2024 |
Week 1 July 16
Week 2 July 23
Week 3 August 18
Week 4 August 25
5-11 year olds.
Monday to Friday 9am to 12 noon
115 Robbins Rd
Arlington
This summer I am offering 4 weeks of camp. We work and play in my studio, backyard, new driveway! and Robbins Farm Park. Each week will have a theme that helps us exploit materials and play with the elements- sun, water, sand and art materials- paint, clay, paper, wire, cardboard, recycled packaging.
I don’t advertise the weeks with themes like ACA or ACE. Sorry! (First of all it’s still winter when ice and snow is the inspiration!) Also, I don’t think an adult’s theme does much to predict what happens in the interaction between a child and a material, the experience with the stuff. Children come with their own themes and ways of working. I have used themes to organize the gathering of materials- like Water, Light and Dark, Things that Fly, Storytelling, Earth. I do offer a starting point and time to experiment over the course of the morning.

What:
Summer Art Camp is a morning program for 5-11yr olds. Art projects are linked to games, stories, playful physical challenges and experimentation with elements like water, sand, clay, bubbles, earth and air. We do individual and collaborative work with a variety of 2D and 3D materials. The work is inspired by nature, fine artists, the materials themselves, and each other. It’s summer and the aim is to get wet, dirty and immersed in the elements!
When: 9am -12noon
Week 1 July 14-18
Week 2 July 21-25
Week 3 August 18-22
Week 4 August 25-29
Where:

Wear:
- hat
-shoes to run in(no flip flops please)
-clothes that can get dirt, paint, glue and more on them(I have smocks)
-sunscreen (please apply at home)
It is also helpful if you eat breakfast and do a bathroom visit before you come to camp! (full stomach, empty bladder)
Assistants:
I will have an assistant with me from 9-12:30 each day. They will help
me with materials, bathroom runs, cleanup and the couple of trips to the park.
The Art
Visit my blog for pictures of past projects and summer camp archives. It will give you an idea of the materials I use regularly and the kinds of activities we do at camp. During Summer Camp we will do more with the outdoors and nature for inspiration. Each week will have a loose theme to tie the activities together. Some of the projects will produce products that we can play with outside. Some projects will be collaborative and others will simply be art to look at. There will be free time to experiment with materials.
The media will be a mixture of 2D and 3D.
I’ll let you know the themes later! (Not only do I need time to get it altogether, I also think that a theme does not tell a child what camp’s going to be like)
