GET A PEEK AT YOUTH ART THIS WEEK AT THE ARMORY
Then and Now was the theme for kids during week 8 of summer art camp. Kids traveled through time to Rome, where they created the city with a touring car and oversized cardboard pizza slices that looked delicious enough to eat. They learned about the ancient Greek Olympics by drawing self-portraits as Olympiads and sculpting clay vases called Amphoras, used to hold water and food.
Teenagers were busy, too, in the Teen Studio Intensives. Watch the end of this video to see a young artist bring a Woolly mammoth to life.
Last week, kids explored the theme of larger-than-life. Collages, handmade books, and fiber art were just some of the mixed-media techniques kids tried.
Kids explored art from the Caribbean Island during week 6 of Summer Art Camp. From beaches to coral reefs, kids fell in love with the tropics. And what is the Caribbean without buried treasure? Kids made illustrated maps to guide the intrepid searchers to find their treasures in a scavenger hunt.
