Tunnel books have been around for quite some time however not many people know what they are... but not for long! Artists will learn how to build an accordion tunnel book that tells a story or sends an important message to it's reader. Tunnel books are held together by many folded strips of paper, like an accordion, and give an illusion of depth and perspective. Students will study famous tunnel book artists, such as Carol Barton, to inspire thier creations. We will storyboard, construct, and illustrate our books, leaving class with a very unique literary piece of art! Show less

Our inspiration this week will be from the mask making artists Kimmy Cantrell, Pablo Picasso and Sandra Silberzweig. First, students will choose an animal and use reference photos to inspire aspects of their mask creations. They will plan, design and create their masks with cardboard, mixed media textures and paint. Students will then use what they have learned from their animals masks and apply it to making their own large scale self portraits masks. Both masks will be ready to hang to brighten up your wall!

Do you know the difference between a monotype and a monoprint? Well you will after this week of printmaking with The Art Garage! This virtual camp is pre-recorded so that students can learn a variety of printmaking techniques and ways to make their 'impressions' (aka: prints) on their own schedule. Registered students will receive links to a week of videos to guide them through projects and can pick up a Materials Kit for the week at The Art Garage before class begins. Virtual campers will look at the different ways famous printmakers such as Rembrandt, Goya and Lichtenstein used printmaking in their art and experiment with sun printing, monotype, portraiture, and more in this exciting printmaking class!

This class is scheduled to be in person and will be moved virtual as needed for the health and safety of our community. * This class will focus on still life drawing and the technical aspects that will help students know where to start. We will have students set up their own still life displays as well as have timed drawing sessions that focus on depth, values and perspective. One of the most important aspects of still life drawing is to draw to scale or even bigger! We will cover all of these elements of drawing inanimate objects which will help students create a variety of portfolio pieces as well as learn skills for visual art portfolio auditions. *Please note: We have a no refund policy.
