MORE THAN A CAMP ? AN ART EXPERIENCE
Arts Collinwood Brings Art And Kids Together
How do you tell a mime from a sculpture? You?ll have to ask the kids in Arts Collinwood?s Art & Drama Camp this summer. The camp?s
unusual blend of visual and stage arts is offering four distinct, one-week curriculums, starting with an exploration of ways to present ideas in three dimensions, through sculpture, and also through the ultimate three-dimensional device ? the body ? to communicate ideas.
That?s the first week?s curriculum, Sculpture and Mime. In the second week, children will learn painting technique and color theory, and translate those skills into creation of a puppet theater. Week Three combines book making, writing and printmaking, and in Week Four, making puppets is combined with learning how to use them.
The 2008 camp will meet for four separate weeklong sessions, Monday-Friday, mornings only, from June 16 to July 18, with a break for the week of July 4. The schedule will combine art and drama classes for enriched learning and greater skills, and the camp will make use of the entire Waterloo Arts District. The sculpture garden adjoining the Zaller building will be a resource, as will the Arts Collinwood gallery and Vision gallery across the road.
Each of these art experiences is available separately, or as part of a package. Each week is priced at only $70, with a 20% discount for siblings. Call 216-692-9500 for detailed information and a brochure, or go to www.artscollinwood.org.
Arts Collinwood wishes to thank National City and Muldoon?s Tavern and Eatery for supporting the Art & Drama Camp.
