DRAWING, PAINTING, PRINTMAKING was a hit! Five mini-artists (and one dog) joined me for a three-day camp that focused on three important 2-D techniques: drawing, painting, and printmaking. Our projects included Traced-Self-Portraits, Folk-Art Chalk Pastel Birds, Giant Paper Fish, Salty Watercolor Paintings, Potato-Print Gardens, and Andy Warhol-Inspired Self-Portrait Prints. Enjoy our gallery of work, below!
We’re super excited to offer a series of mini art camps this summer! As always, classes will be chock full of real art-making materials and concepts. (In The Art Room, we’re so much more than pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks!) Sign up today, and join us in July.
Amedeo Modigliani is known for his portraits of somber subjects with elongated features. Our
5 – 8 year olds mimicked Modigliani’s style to create (colorful!) portraits of one of their parents.
Our 2.5 – 4 year olds made their printing plates (on illustration board) by smooshing, twisting, and smearing paint under saran wrap. After adding some final touches to the plates with the back of a spoon, we flipped them over and printed them on a large piece of paper. The stunning results surprised all of us!
New classes & new prices: Your first class is only $15 or 1,500 KES. Plus, earn a FREE CLASS for every 12 classes you attend. See you in The Art Room!
One of our most fun (and messiest!) projects yet, pendulum painting was a half-art, half-physics experiment. After we determined the appropriate water-to-paint ratio for successful dripping, we let ‘er rip! And, even though we were focused mostly on the process, the results were beautiful.
In The Art Room, we love using unusual tools and techniques to make art (the messier the better!). Below are a just a few photographs of recent projects made using spray bottles, eye droppers, bubbles, and salt!
