Calling all bookworms and art lovers! In this camp, we'll dive into the world of children's books and create art inspired by some of our favorite stories and illustrations
Each day, we'll explore a different author and their unique style, from Dr. Seuss to Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak to Shel Silverstein, and new award-winning authors. We'll look at how these artists use color, shape, and line to create memorable characters and landscapes, and we'll use their techniques as inspiration for our own artwork. We'll experiment with different mediums, such as paint, pastels, and collage, to bring our favorite characters to life on the page. You'll learn how to use composition and contrast to create dynamic and engaging art that captures the spirit of your favorite books. We'll also discuss the themes and messages behind these classic stories and how they can inspire us to create art that is both beautiful and meaningful. By the end of the week, you'll have a collection of art inspired by your favorite children's books and a deeper appreciation for the artistry and creativity behind these beloved stories.
Please remember to bring a lunch and get ready to bring your favorite characters off the page and into the world of art!
All supplies will be provided.
