Camp Description
Mona Lisa, Starry Night, Picasso, and Van Gogh, these famous artwork and artists always held a certain jenesequa that has yet to fade even to this day. We pay homage to these classic artwork and artists by learning about their influences, artistic characteristics, motifs, and style in order to emulate these masterpieces but with a Clay House Art twist.
Our classic artwork camps combine 2D and 3D artmaking techniques to recreate these classic artwork in air dry clay. For this week students will delve into the heart of art history with Vincenct Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. Campers will learn about his unique painting style and sketch the iconic motif onto canvas. Then, students will start to layer air-dry clay on the canvas with techniques invented right here in Clay House Art’s studio, to recreate the visual elements of the original Sunflowers.
By the end of the week, campers will have created their own masterwork recreations combining traditional techniques in sketch, watercolor, and oil pastel on a new air-dry clay medium.
