Summer Art Camp 2023

Artcamp 2023

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  June 26- June 29 (Monday to Thursday only)

Week 2   July 17- July 21

Week 3   August 7- August 1

Camp will be held at the studio down the driveway to the right of the house. Door is on the left. We will work and play in the studio, backyard and at Robbins Farm Park

9:00 Gathering activity outside 

9:15 Meeting and Art Project, free play

What to bring

Bring:

 -water bottle

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 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)

Winter Art Classes 2023

 Winter Art Classes 2023

Hello All- I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was full with family and food. Happy digestion!

Our theme this Fall has been trees/forests. Using paint, drawing tools and collage we have represented forests with bright colors and muted night time ones. We’ve drawn branching patterns and made bas relief trees.

For the winter I want to offer a variety of materials for building, an exercise to explore the material and then lots of time to mess about on one’s own with whatever is available.

I am offering a Wed class again, we will see if it runs this time! I am keeping my numbers down this winter. I am limiting the class size to 8. Using the out door space is harder and we fill up the room when we are all inside. I will keep a wait list until registration settles the beginning of January. So sign up early if you would like a spot.

Hopefully Wed will work for some. 

Here are the dates for the Winter Session.

Mondays 3:30-5pm 1/9, 1/23, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13, 2/27, 3/6, 3/13
Wednesdays 3:30-5pm 1/11, 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, 3/1, 3/8
Sign up for all 8 classes or the first or last 4

Open Studios:
Thursdays 1/26, 3/2 3:30-5pm everyone welcome, let me know you are coming.

Dress warmly for the studio, bring a mask until further notice.

Fees: $180 for 8 classes, $100 for 4 

Please bring the first day of class. For those of you who have credit due to this last session’s cancellations I will send an email to confirm your balance.

To Register:
Send me your class preference and I will send you the contact information unless you have been with me this fall!

Thanks, Ann

Fall Update 2022

 Hello Everyone- 

I am looking forward to the fall session. Monday's class is filling up but there is still room! Wednesday's class needs a few more students to run! Let me know if you are interested. 

The Lexfarm class will not run this fall, maybe in the spring. There is now a Monday morning caregiver and child session in the time slot that Art in the Garden was scheduled for.

Stay tuned. If Wednesday's class doesn't run I will offer some drop in Open Studios.

Summer Camp 2022

Fall Art Classes 2022

 Hi Everyone- 

I hope everyone is savoring the summer! 

(Please keep scrolling after my information to see another art opportunity for preschoolers at Lexfarm that I am lucky to be a part of!)

Here’s what the schedule looks like this Fall 2022. The session starts in October. All classes at my studio/ backyard 115 Robbins Rd, Arlington, Ma unless otherwise noted!

Both classes are mixed age 5-11 years old. In the recent past this has worked for families with a number of kids attending.

I am hoping to run some workshops for older students. Let me know if you have children in Gr 4 or 5 or middle schoolers who may be interested. 

Each class we will focus on a project for the first hour or so and then students work/play with materials available. We will do a mix of 2D and 3D work. My intention is to give time and space to children to express ideas in a variety of media. My role is to make materials accessible, give them a starting point and then let the playful process begin!

Take a look at their website!

ART IN THE GARDEN (4-6 Y/O)

Let’s let the life at the farm inspire us! Come play and make art with natural materials and traditional art media. The garden is a rich source of the elements artists use – color, shape, line and texture. We’ll also visit the animals at neighboring Silk Fields Farm and enjoy the sights and sounds there.

In this 8-class series children will use their senses through games, scavenger hunts, drawing, painting and building. Each class will include an open-ended project as well as time to explore materials through play and get to know the farm environment.

Class size is limited to 10 children with 2 teachers. We’re lucky to have guest teacher Ann Wynne joining us on the farm this fall! Ann is a local artist, art teacher, and seasoned early childhood educator with a background in nature education. You can check out her art blog here. Ann and our lead farm educator, Rachel, are excited to collaborate on this new class series!

Monday Mornings, 9:30-11:30 am
Dates: 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, 10/3, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7
