Spring Break Art Camp - Meet the Makers and Shakers: An Introduction to Oklahoma's Working Artists
During this year's spring break camp, students will be introduced to the work of some of Oklahoma's most inspiring and energetic young artists. Like many of these artists, we will explore the theme of belonging- to a place, a culture, a generation. What are the emblems of our times? How can you capture the essence of a place? A people? Our works will be both collaborative and individual, two dimensional and three. Students need to bring their lunch and a snack each day and come dressed for outdoor breaks.

BIG AND BOLD: the Art and Abstractions of Leon Polk Smith
Fall Break Art Camp
Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 18th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Leon Polk Smith: Affinities in Art and Design. Just as the exhibition does, we will follow native Oklahoman Smith on his journey of simplification and abstraction. We will use elements of nature and everyday objects as our starting point, making paintings and sculptures that sing with simplicity, clean lines and bold colors! Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.

This summer's Kids' Art Studio will be an Encore! of our Artists in the Spotlight summer camps. We will take our inspiration from artists Alan Shields (Tuesday), Gabriel Orozco (Wednesday), Henri Matisse (Thursday), and Etel Adnan (Friday). Even though returning students may be familiar with the artists and their work, the projects will be new. Unlike summer camp, students may attend one day, all four, or anything in between.
