Weeks to choose from:
June 29- July 3, 2020 $225 per child 1/2 Day Adaptive Camp Session, Morning or Afternoon Say that again? This week is all about language. We will learn about different languages from around the world, and even within our own community. But language is not only verbal, and we will discover how artists throughout the ages have created their own visual language to express themselves, relying on their hands and bodies instead of their voices to communicate with others. July 6-10, 2020 $225 per child How did that get made? Have you ever wondered how a crayon gets made? How about the Eiffel Tower? We will discover the answers to these questions and more in a week all about invention and building. Come discover how some of your favorite works of art were made, and bring your own ideas to life through the intersections between science, art and engineering. July 13-17, 2020 $225 per child Here and There and Back Again Doesn’t it seem like if you wait long enough, everything comes back into fashion? This week we’ll explore how art and design of the past still influences us today, as well as the importance of repetition and cycles in some of our favorite art, music and performances. We’ll also have plenty of time to explore art projects that require recycled or repurposed materials from the past, and have fun guessing what we think will come back into fashion for the next generation of artists! July 20-24, 2020 $225 per child Once Upon A Time… Ever since humans could communicate with one another, we’ve been telling stories. We will discover the history of story-telling in both verbal and written form, and of course story-telling through art and performance! There will be plenty of time for creating stories of our own, and discovering how we can communicate our thoughts and ideas to others through art making. July 27-31, 2020 $225 per child Up Above and Down Below We’ll talk about everything from a tiny ant farm to the giant galaxies above our heads this week. Patterns and systems can be found in things so small that they can only be seen with a microscope all the way to things bigger than our planet! We’ll discover how artists are inspired by patterns naturally found in nature, and we’ll discover the world around us both below our feet and above our heads! August 3-7, 2020 $225 per child 1/2 Day Adaptive Camp Session, Morning or Afternoon Now you see it, now you don’t… Art and Illusion have always gone hand-in-hand. This week we’ll discover ways that artists old and new use materials and processes to trick the eye of the viewer through optical illusions and visual tricks. Of course there will be plenty of time to come up with our own tricks and illusions and use them to change the way we see and experience the world around us! August 10-14, 2020 $225 per child Let’s Celebrate! As we celebrate the last week of Summer break, we will learn about the ways different cultures get together and celebrate! We will discover customs and ceremonies similar and different from our own, and the week will culminate with a unique Access Arts celebration of our own! |
