FINE ART DAY CAMP

Fine Art Camp

JUNE 11 - JUNE 29

At the end of our week-long summer camps, every student goes home with an armload of cool projects that we've been working on throughout the week. But because we realize the season's schedules are hectic and not all schools are dismissed at the same time, we've created a shorter series of day-long camps in the three weeks leading up to our various, ever-popular themed weeks. These day sessions have a sharper focus, with projects spanning a range of media that can be completed in a single day - other than clay works, these finished pieces can usually be taken home right after class. Like our fine arts camps in which students had the opportunity to try their hand at a little bit of everything, we'll explore printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and impressionistic drawing and painting. As always, we'll look at famous examples for inspiration (and a bit of a mini-art-history lesson, too). If you'd like to enroll for the full week anyway, we offer special bundle discounts - just check out our pricing below!

ART OF INVENTION

Art of Invention

JULY 2 - JULY 6

Our muse for this week is the famous Leonardo Da Vinci, an artist who used his artistry to invent machines that enriched humankind, and we'll talk about the ways that innovators and makers that are still changing the world around us today.

As always, creativity is key, but for this camp we'll take part in activities that really get their gears turning, as they'll be brainstorming their own projects and creating the curriculum themselves! We'll draw up "blueprints" and help them develop those ideas into artsy machines that actually work (or models of ideas too big to fit in our studio!) using a variety of mixed art mediums and materials. From Galileo to Thomas Edison to Ben Franklin to Ada Lovelace to Alexander Graham Bell to Steve Jobs, we'll look at how inventors altered the course of history and pay artistic tribute to their legacies.

DIRECTOR'S CUT

Director's Cut

JULY 9 - JULY 13

Lights! Camera! Art! It's movie week at CBK and your child is in the directors chair. We'll spend the week working together to create our very own stop motion animated film. Kids will create storyboards and production notebooks to flesh out their characters and narrative.

Throughout the week we'll use paint and paper to create various sets, build and animate characters out of clay, record voice work as well as their own foley for sound effects using found objects, and finally film the finished project. Students will also design and print their own movie posters and other "marketing materials" to promote their movies far and wide. We're ready for our closeup! It's Sunset Boulevard by way of Pacific Avenue!

USE YOUR ILLUSION

Use Your Illusion

JULY 16 - JULY 20

A class where wonder, sorcery, and art collide. During this camp week the children will create their own art projects based on the fantastical illusions and magic spells from the stories we all love.

From Harry Potter to The Wizard of Oz to modern-day magicians like Penn & Teller and David Copperfield, magic has enchanted our imaginations. The projects will center around the mystical objects that give wizards and magicians their special powers - we'll mix magic potions in spooky hand-made bottles, make intricate wands and mysterious magic books adorned with strange talismans, and create mixed-media animal avatars to assist us in our magical (and artistic!) journeys.

POP ART ( SINGLE DAYS AVAILABLE )

Pop Art

JULY 23 - July 27

Students will explore the thrilling world of Pop Art by studying the iconic works of famous Modern artists, incorporating those ideas into projects that speak to their lives and surroundings. Students will make large felt and plaster replicas of their favorite foods the way Oldenberg did. We’ll learn about printmaking and draw our own images into screens to replicate Andy Warhol’s techniques. We will combine pointillism and collage, similar to Yayoi Kusama's work, and also apply collage for three-dimensional forms. We’ll look at the way Keith Haring expressed movement and emotion in his paintings and create clay sculptures based on those ideas.

We’ll also take a look at Lichtenstein’s comic book-style paintings, encouraging students to create scenes that tell a story. Kids will be drawn in by the exciting ideas, bold colors, and unusual materials while learning about these well-known artists, and will have a new language to interpret and talk about the words and images they see around them daily.

HERO'S JOURNEY
( SINGLE DAYS AVAILABLE )

Hero's Journey

July 30 - AUGUST 3

A week of adventure, imagination, and art collide and CBK's takes us all on a journey we will never forget. The children will create their own "Hero's Journey" looking to some of our most beloved adventure stories as inspiration such as Star Wars, The Never Ending Story, Where the Wild Things Are and famous Greek Mythology tales.

We will build a wide range of art projects to touch on each of the 12 stages of the journey. Each child will be a hero in their own story as we discuss different types of fables, fantasies, and legends. The projects will cover everything from mixed media sculptures - influenced by artist Geoffrey Farmer to clay potion bottles to protective amulets, and everything else they'll need to keep them covered on their journey. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and this week we'll cover much more than that!

ART & ENGINEERING ( CAMP FULL )

Art & Engineering

AUGUST 8 - AUGUST 10

As many of our other classes have taught us, kids are inventors at heart. As such, we have dedicated an entire camp to it with our ART & ENGINEERING week. This camp is designed to let your child explore the vast realms of their imaginations while working within specific mediums both individually and in a group setting.

Projects include drafting blueprints and then building fantastic structures, creating simple hydraulic bridges, designing and screening shirts, launching paper rockets, building small robots, and an all-over full class Rube Goldberg machine to cover the part of the studio! Students will learn that the process is just as important as the finished project while focusing on mechanics, physics, design, and more. Your child will work on new skill sets, hone old ones, and take home a wealth of projects both aesthetic and functional!

SPY VS. SPY ( CAMP FULL )

Spy Vs. Spy

There's been an art heist at Created By Kids, and we need skilled detectives and masters of espionage to get to the bottom of this!

Our studio will be transformed into a crime lab where we'll develop secret identities, spy kits with various sleuthing gadgets, and, of course, funny disguises! Throughout the week they'll collect clues to solve mysteries just like Sherlock Holmes. They'll be encouraged to hone their powers of observation and detection as we make invisible ink, decoders, and art projects using our own fingerprints!

Leaping out of newspapers and into books in the 1930's, comics have been at the center of many cultural issues and launched the careers of many successful artists the world over. Our week will focus on character & story development as well as world building. Kids will learn about the history of comics and some of the more prominent artists in the genre as we go over everything from penciling to inking to color to lettering and finally - bookbinding as we go from pulp to POW in creating a one of a kind "artist's edition" hardbound book to take home.

Additionally, we'll be screen printing our own action word shirts, building/painting/collaging our own 3D letters, stitching our characters out of fabric to make action figures/dolls, and creating our very own secret identifies out of plaster. The students will be screaming AHHHHHH! with excitement.

WHEN IN ROME ( CAMP FULL )

When In Rome

AUGUST 27 - August 31

They say Rome wasn't built in a day so luckily we'll have an entire week to study the artistic and historical context of this ancient culture.

First up we'll be recreating one of Rome's greatest works of art and architecture out of clay, the colosseum with all it's ornate details. Next your child will become a fierce gladiator when we build our own Roman war helmets out of plaster. We'll adorn ourselves elaborate jewelry and with our or faces etched into the gold coins we'll go down as Romes greatest ruler. There are no limits on what art we can build this week!
