WEEK 1 Bookmaking July 9, 10, 11

I love beginning camp creating an artist’s book, because sky’s the limit.  The students are invited to take their book in any directiong, using whatever media they would like to experiement with that day.  The story might be told with layers of charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, and so much more.  The idea is to let the child envision an idea and then learn how to express it with art in a handmade book.

Week 2 Paint A Canvas July 16, 17, 18

In week two we will work with acrylics, pencil, charcoal, and more to paint a canvas. This is a messy week, but oh so fun learning all about acrylic paints and how to create texture and form in our artwork.  The young artist learn will learn how to take and idea, sketch it out, and then paint it onto a canvas.  We work in different sizes and with lots of acrylic paint. Each student usually completes about 3 completed pieces over the course.

Week 3 Collaging July 23, 24, 25

In week three we will spend our time cutting with scissors and creating collages with Mod Podge.  We will decorate a cigar box and we will create a shrine to hang on the wall- both lovely items to spruce up any room in your house

Week 4 All about Watercolor July 30, 31, AUG 1

In the last week of camp we will learn all about watercolors and mixing them with other media.  We will learn how to create a color palette, paint color washes, printmaking, using resists, and much more.  The children will work on creating abstract art, still lifes and landscapes.

Red Bow Bookmaking Class

Day of Bookmaking
March 9, 9:30am-Noon
$55 per child, ages K-4

Hello All!  I am opening up my studio Friday morning for a bookmaking class.  It's parent/teacher conference day (as you all know), so I thought I'd give parents the option to drop their children off at my studio for the morning.  This class will be set up just like a summer mini camp day- from 9:30am to noon.  In this workshop, we will work to create a small book inspired by the stories in our everyday lives.  The young artist's will collage, paint, draw and use any other media they see fit to illustrate their stories.  I will do my best to help all of the young artists realize their ideas in the allotted time we have available.  From past experience, each book will be completely different; some filled with text, others a potpourri of drawings and paintings.  We will try to fit in as much art making as possible in creating our books.  For those who are familiar with my studio- YES the typewriter will be available to use.  I need 4 children to run the class, max 8 children.  Please email me with any questions.
