DF Summer Camp - Week #8: LARGE-SCALE PAINTING

All kids like to work on a large scale and who could blame them? Painting BIG allows artists the space to push against physical boundaries and discover new possibilities. This week, your artists will have the opportunity to work BIG! We'll begin by stretching our own canvas panels. Canvases stretched, we'll gesso them and create beautifully complex abstract paintings using acrylic paint and sumi ink. The second painting of the week will be a large-scale self-portrait. Artists will paint themselves life size learning how to magnify details of their facial features, clothing and body position. Artists will leave this camp with two large-scale paintings ready to grace your walls and a working knowledge of how to fill a large surface with the gorgeous color, shape, line and texture.

Summer camp is one of our most beloved programs for campers, teachers and studio managers because of ALL the time we are able to dedicate to art-making and community building throughout the week. In addition to high-quality and multilayered art projects, our Dobbs Ferry camp includes walks in our nearby parks and playgrounds, collaborative outdoor earthworks and daily sketchbook challenges! At the conclusion of each week, families will be invited to an exhibit at the studio, where proud artists will share what they've created! You provide daily bagged lunch and we provide a healthy snack. This year, we're offering early drop off at 8:30am, late pick up at 3:30pm and extended day until 5pm. For artists who stay for extended day, they'll get an additional healthy snack, outdoor time and open ended art-making to finish up the day!
