School's Out
|
School’s Out is a day camp program for school-age children. It is offered on selected days that Columbia Public Schools and surrounding school districts are closed for Teacher Work Days (and now Wednesdays in conjunction with CPS's four day model). Home School children are always welcome too! During the day, participating students complete different art projects in various media (Ceramics, Fibers, and Mixed Media). Between the media blocks, they have time to play both indoor and outdoor games and enjoy snacks. There will also be individual work time when students could complete homework or assignments. If needed for schoolwork, they can bring in devices, we just ask they bring headphones as well.
Designed with working parents in mind, School’s Out provides a one- or multiple-day solution to the scheduling conflict caused by Teacher Work Days. School’s Out offers parents an affordable, safe alternative to daycare. The rotating block schedule of School’s Out enables students to engage in a variety of creative learning experiences. Each day will have a different theme, and all projects created that day will relate to that theme. Camp runs from 8:00 am- 5:00 pm. **For homework time, kids MAY bring their school-designated tablet, but MUST bring headphones if they do.
The Basics:
Drop off: 7:45-8:15 Pick up: 4:45-5:15 Food: Please bring a lunch, 2 snacks, and a water bottle. Art-making works up an appetite! What to wear: Sometimes we get messy working with clay, paint and other media so dress accordingly. Please be sure to bring appropriate outerwear for the weather as we will generally go outside.

**WE WILL ONLY HOST IF WE HAVE AT LEAST 5 STUDENTS** March 2021 Dates and Themes
Fact or Fiction? Art is all about storytelling, but sometimes the story isn’t what you imagine it will be! Today we will explore how artists represent both real and fictional worlds, as well as artwork that tricks the viewer into seeing or thinking about something that isn’t real. And of course, we will work to make tricky art of our own! Wednesday, March 3, 2021 School Districts: Columbia Say Cheese! Today is all about capturing an image. From cellphone photos to watercolor paintings (and everything in-between!) we will explore the many different ways artists capture the world around them. Of course we will also make art of our own and think about ways to preserve and share the world around us with others! Wednesday, March 10, 2021 School Districts: Columbia Spring Ahead! This week we move into DayLight Savings Time, and the hope of Spring around the corner! Today we will talk about light and dark depicted in artwork, as well as ways that different cultures celebrate the sun and moon and the changing of seasons. And of course, we will celebrate a little extra sunlight! Wednesday, March 17, 2021 School Districts: Columbia The Ants Go Marching Two by Two Today is all about pairs! We will learn about artwork and images that comes in pairs, as well as famous artist duos & friendships. We will explore different projects that highlight pairs and the number two and of course we’ll divide up into pairs for some games and activities! Wednesday, March 24, 2021 School Districts: Columbia Grow with us! It’s officially Spring! Come celebrate with us and help us plant our “art garden” for the year. While we get our hands dirty, we’ll learn about how artists use different plant fibers and dyes in their work. We’ll talk about art’s connection to the earth, and we’ll make artwork to celebrate the new season! And of course we’ll also have plenty of time to play and grow together throughout the week! Spring Break, March 29-April 2, 2021 School Districts: Columbia, Hallsville, Southern Boone
