All projects will be edited and a DVD will be provided to every child in the class.
Photography and Photoshop
Say Cheese! Students will take photographs and learn to edit photographs in Photoshop. Participants will learn the basics of composing and taking photos, understanding photo retouching, compositing, poster design, and more. Hope you are ready for your close up!
Drumming!
Children will learn proper drumming techniques and rhythms as they explore their natural abilities and use their “inner” beats and rhythms. Through ensemble playing, they will discover how important it is to listen to others! Many percussion instruments will be available, including parts of the modern drum set. And at times, the instructor will play guitar for accompaniment. Come explore the fun of percussion instruments!
Art & Artists
Kids hear the stories of famous artists and then create works in their style! Suerat and Pointalism, Cassat and Impressionism, Braque and Cubism and many more! Students will get a chance to look very closely like Georgia Okeefe, work on a grid like Chuck Close, and make a tessellation like M C Escher! color Watercolor, acrylic, scratch paper, graphite! This class is a great intro to art for those with no experience: they will build confidence and skill. For kids with some art experience it will enhance their knowledge and sharpen their saws.
Mural Painting
Students will be learning how to create and produce a mural from start to finish. Class will be hands on, students will begin by participating in painting the mural sketched on the walls in the new MPR. How to use the brush and colors and other painting techniques to visually communicate content thru simple techniques will be the focus. Throughout the class students will be working on an individual mural idea that they will finish by the end of class, something that can be hung up as a complete and finished work of art that is developed around an idea of their own choosing.
Arts & Crafts
Each class will be centered around a fun theme including a story, song, and/or skit. Students will participate in creating crafts using a wide variety of media and will demonstrate their creativity to make every project unique! Special events such as puppet shows, visits by cute creatures, and improvisation games will add to the fun!
