Picture Perfect: Portrait Masterpieces
Inspired
by a diverse selection of painted portraits, this program will combine
games and hands-on activities to explore some of the formal qualities
of art: line, shape, color, pattern and texture. With all the trappings
of a 19th centu
ry
portrait studio at their disposal (including costumes and props), each
kid will create a self-portrait.
Walk Like an Egyptian
Using Egyptian paintings and sculptures as our guide, kids
will be inspired to get-up and bring the past to life.
We will walk like Egyptians, translate
hieroglyphs, play ancient Egyptian games and create our own narrative
scroll.
Featured
artwork will explore
the concepts of figure style and narrative composition.
Art, Nature, Sculpture
Stacking
rocks, weaving leaves, and watching the effects of the wind - nature
will be our inspiration as we learn about art made from natural
materials. A nature walk (weather permitting) will accompany hands-on
activities and pictures of Andy Goldsworthy's sculpture. Each kid will
create several original works of art, including an ephemeral sculpture
captured by digital photography.
