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. 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.
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. |

We <3 Art!
Today is all about our love of art. We will talk about symbols we use to represent love, and artists like Jim Dine and Keith Haring who use these symbols in their own artwork. And of course we’ll make lots of love-ly themed artwork.

Can I Make That?!
All art starts with an idea. Today we’ll explore how art can go from a crazy or silly idea to a finished piece. We’ll talk about famous works of art that may have seemed impossible at first, and how they were ultimately created. We’ll also work to invent our own pieces and together we’ll turn them into a reality.
School Districts: Columbia, Centralia, Southern Boone, Sturgeon

Glue, Paper, Scissors!
Today is all about the art of collage. Collage can mean many things, and we’ll work together to discover what happens when you combine multiple ideas and materials into one piece of artwork. How silly can it get? We’ll find out!

Keep it Moving!
As we get ready to move into a new season, we’ll spend some time discovering art that doesn’t stay still. We’ll talk about artists like Andy Goldsworthy whose art is always changing and shifting in nature, and we’ll make our own moving art using materials that change or shift over time. School Districts: Columbia
Spring Break, March 23-27, 2020
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!

Q: What did the ghost say when he saw the Mona Lisa? A: It’s boo-tiful!

“Leaf” me alone, I’m making art!
Today is all about leaves! Join us as we celebrate nature’s most exciting color change. We’ll mix art and science together to learn what gives leaves their beautiful colors. We’ll also learn about the symbolic and decorative uses of leaves throughout the history of art and, of course, make our own seasonal leaf-inspired artworks.

Art of the Native Americans
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we will pay respect to the art and history of North America’s native people.
