Description:
Tlapali Art Studio is excited to offer Art Camp! Kids will have a fun and enriching summer, immersing themselves in process art experiences with weekly topics that will spark joy and celebrate kids' unique creativity. Daily scheduled activities will include time for themed art experiences and open studio, playing outdoors, and free time to engage in brain games and social-emotional activities.
Who Are We?
We are a new kids' art studio space in the West Elsdon Community in Chicago (brought to you by the folks at The Little Scholars Club Early Learning Center)! We bring our experience and expertise in child development to offer arts programming designed to encourage exploration, discovery, and self-expression.
What is Process Art?
Process art does not focus on creating a perfect product but rather celebrates the process of creating and the experience of discovery. This approach respects every child's developmental stage while encouraging creative thinking, problem-solving, and self-esteem!
Camp Schedule:
July 5th - 9th - Nature Art
Kids will explore the wonder and beauty of nature using its textures, colors, and forms to create.
July 12th - 16th - Let's Get Messy!
Using an "art buffet" of materials, kids will immerse themselves in art experiences that are all about free expression and embracing the mess!
July 19th - 23rd - Oh, The Things I Will GLUE!
Things will get sticky during this week of playing with collage, Pinata-making, and more!
July 26th - 30th - Self-Portraits with the Masters
Kids will learn about the masters of self-portraiture, including Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol, and feel inspired to create their own autobiographical self-portrait.
August 2nd - 6th - DONUTS!
Kids will love creating different colorful artistic interpretations of their favorite treat. Art experiences will include sculpting with clay, painting, and sewing.
August 9th - 13th - Creating in a World of Fantasy: Dragons, Potions, and Wands!
Art and science will collide in our fun week of fantasy! Kids will be conceptualizing and creating objects from their own world of fantasy.
