AGES 10-12 (Entering Grades 5, 6, 7)
Imagination Station: Pictures & Prose
June 26th- June 30th, 9:00am-3:00pm
Instructor: Heather Day
Cost: $255 (Limit 20)
Ever wonder what a piece of art is trying to say? In this workshop, campers will consider the connections between words and images, poetry and pictures, stories and illustrations. We’ll create posters, small books, narrative illustrations and more using pen and ink, watercolor, gouache, and a number of exciting mixed media materials. A trip to Bowdoin’s Art Museum will spark our imaginations and generate ideas to help us create art that expresses how we see the world with our own characters, stories, myths and drawings. The week will culminate in an art show open to family and friends on the last day.
Collage, Puppets, & Zines Workshop
July 3rd- July 7th (no camp on 7/4 holiday), 9:00am-12:00pm
Instructor: Bridget McAlonan
Cost: $215 (Limit 20)
Zines are small limited edition magazines that contain stories and art and are self-published by way of a photocopier. In this workshop, we are going to tell stories all week using images: images with puppets, images with cut paper, images that we have reassembled from magazines, images that we have made with simple printmaking techniques, images that we play with, manipulate, re-manipulate and then assemble into simple zines. For this class we will be using various forms of puppetry, a wide range of collage techniques, a couple of very simple printmaking methods, and some simple book making skills and capturing all of this in our zines. The week will culminate with an exhibit on Friday for family and friends.
