Art Summer Camp Specifics from Elizabeth Howe

SUMMER ART CAMP

Sculpture- This is a basic class exploring the ideas, techniques, and terminology of sculpture.  Student will complete a few

sculptures over the course of the week.  This class is great for students of a variety of ages as projects are geared to meet the student where they are at as far as age and motor-skills, while building and strengthening those abilities.  This is a great chance for kids to explore their creative and design skills and critical thinking skills.  We will not be doing clay as that is a class on its own.

Dates: June 24-28

Time: 1-3 pm each day

Place: Calvary Baptist Church

Ages: 6 and up

Beth Farmer will be taking registration names and number of students, including their ages and phone numbers. 

Cost is $40.0 for the week for each student.

For Families with 3 or more, cost is the $40.00 for the week for each of the first 2 students and $15.00 for the week  for each additional student.  Cost includes materials and supplies.

Payment will be due on the first day of camp.

No open toed shoes or sandals will be allowed during camp due to the nature of the project. 

Each student should bring a small snack and drink so we can keep our brains sharp.

One of  our projects will be done with found objects. Students need to bring found objects that they would like to make into a sculpture. Each student needs to have their object(s) in a bag with their names on them. AND BRING THEM ON THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP.  The goal is to think outside the box and come up with some unusual object to turn into something. They do not need to know what they think they want to turn them into yet, but just bring objects that they think will inspire them.  We will be discussing what everyone has brought in and create a plan, on the first day. We will not begin using them until later in the week.  They can bring as many objects as they choose.

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION carefully several times to make sure you've got all the information included.  

I need a commitment as much as possible by June 11, which is one week from today, so I can order materials and supplies in time for camp. Class will be limited to 15 students. I can do more that that if there is more older students 10 and up.  So let Beth know of your interest early so we can make a plan.

Please call me if you have any questions, or special circumstances.
