Summer Camp and Classes 2012

The summer morning camp and classes will be held at my garage studio.  I live on a quiet street and my garage opens up to my backyard.
Summer Class Schedule
All classes can be prorated depending on your summer schedule- please notify me in advance!
Mondays 9:30-10:30AM 1st/2nd Grade Art
(6 Classes July 23rd to August 27th for $150)
In this class we have FUN while learning the basics of drawing and painting with all sorts of media.  Projects are based around the fundamentals of art, such as line, value, form, and perspective, but the student will have such a great time creating they will have no idea that they are actually learning!
 
Fridays 9-10am Fiddling Fingers
(6 Classes July 20th to August 24th for $150)
Let your child explore the world of art and all the tools that go along with it.  In this class we focus on learning about scissors, glue, paints, pens, pencils, and many other useful things and the proper way to use them.  The class revolves around fun and creating.
 
Fridays 1o:15-11:15am Krafty K's 
(6 Classes July 20th to August 24th for $150)
This class is designed specifically for all those fabulous kindergarteners who have had a long day at school and just want to KREATE with a capital K.  In this class the students learn about the many different materials that are used for painting, drawing collaging, and almost anything else they can imagine. 

Summer Morning Camp
from 9:30AM to 12 Noon Tuesdays-Thursdays
COST: $175 Per week includes all materials.
During the summer morning camp we will focus on a single area of art and create artwork portraying what we have learned.  These classes are for children ages 6-10 (or with permission) who are serious about their artwork and would like to spend their mornings creating in an intimate studio setting with friends.  We will be learning techniques and skills in each area that they will be able to use beyond the class.  We will also have a lot of fun.  There is a maximum of six students per week.  Sign ups are per week and you may sign your child up for as many or few weeks as you like.

Week 2 Paint A Canvas July 17, 18, &19
The second week of camp will be spent with acrylics painting a canvas. On the first day we will sketch out our ideas and draw them onto our canvas.  The second and third days will be spent working with the acrylic paints, focusing on color and form.

Week 3 Still Life & Portrait Painting  July 24, 25 &26
Our third week will focus on still life painting.  We will learn all about the face and body and use it to create drawings and paintings.  By the end of these three days, your camper will be confidant in drawing the human body.

Week 4 Create a Shrine July 31, August 1 &2
In week four we will create a shrine out of a cigar box.  Each child will choose a theme for their “shrine” and then paint and embellish the box based on their ideas.  
Week 5 Collage Modge-Podge August 7,8&9
In week five, we will spend our time cutting with scissors and creating collages with Mod Podge.  We will decorate a home item (Your choice a lamp or a tray) that can be used for the years ahead.

Red Bow Update


I wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful 2.5 years at my current space on Sea Cliff Avenue!  I am going to be taking a "break" from having a physical studio space for awhile, but I plan on reopening a new Red Bow sometime early next year.  I will be closing up shop at the end of June.  I will still have an Etsy store if there are any Red Bow items that you need. 

This summer I plan on running classes/camp out of my garage studio at home.  While it isn't "Red Bow", it is still a great studio space and will allow the kids a higher "messiness/experimental" factor.  Many of you have voiced interested in summer classes and I am now scheduling a list of classes.  All classes will be held during the morning hours, so please email me if you are interested. 

For all of you art journalers, the classes will continue at a different location- I will keep you posted.

I plan on finding another space in 2013, so don't be sad!  I just need a break.
