Summer 2009 Mini Camps

Mini Camps Just for 5 and 6 Year Olds

Mini Camps are special one-day camps for our youngest campers. Each day has its own theme - we read a story and create a drawing based on the book. We also played some games and sometimes fit in a quick craft. Check out the making mud photos from the Down on the Farm camp.

During the school year we offer both Beginning Artist and Level 1 classes. These classes are specifically designed for the young artist. Aside from the excitement of learning how to draw what they see these young artists 
gain the added benefit of increasing their fine motor coordination, problem solving skills, and concentration all while having a great time. All of these skills will be an asset in the classroom (or homeschool) setting.



Beginning Artist's will be able to:

Recognize and identify: line, shape, and color (elements of art)

Understand, interpret, and create guided drawings

Distinguish vertical and horizontal compositions
Use materials appropriately



Level 1 students will be able to:
Recognize and identify: line, shape, color, texture, value, space (art elements)

Identify and name primary and secondary colors, warm and cool colors

Develop a vocabulary of art terminology

Understand, interpret, and create guided drawings.

Begin to make personal creative choices

Distinguish vertical and horizontal compositions

Identify foreground, middle ground, and background placement

Use materials appropriately
