All Classes

In this week of art camp, students will learn about the aesthetic revolutions of Pop Art, Op Art, minimalism and performance art, as well as the social revolutions that inspired them. Our art projects will explore the still relevant influences of consumerism, mass production, and entertainment exemplified by Pop artists as well as provide an opportunity to play with graphic art, color, and repeated patterns.

In this week of art camp we will have fun creating artworks inspired by pioneering conceptual artists of the 1970's like On Kawara, Joseph Kosuth, and Yoko Ono. We will also learn about Land Art, making our own temporary, collaborative, nature-based sculptures here at the center. Expect a week that, like the 70's, emphasizes experimentation, process, and free-thinking! 

The final week of our summer camp season will be an exciting investigation into two decades that many of us lived through: the 1980's and 90's. Some of our projects will take inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, the Guerrilla Girls, and Street Art, a paradoxical movement that returned to more traditional figurative imagery while also rejecting the primacy of galleries and museums spaces. We will also be inspired by the introduction of digital art, music videos, and the zine. This one might be the most fun for parents!

Join us in adding some color to your windows! Students can make up to three suncatcher sticks of fused glass with a wire hook fired into the glass for hanging. The maximum width will be 2 inches and maximum length is 10 inches. Each suncatcher will be fired in a glass kiln and can be picked up the following Tuesday, May 3rd. Instructor Candy Beth Michalski will guide you through the process. No previous experience is needed.
