Join us for the Kids ‘n Arts Summer Camp at the Castellani
Openings are still available for campers during Week 2 (Aug. 4 – 8) of our annual Kids ‘n Arts summer day camp. From 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, campers create their own artistic masterpieces and participate in theatre activities. Friday afternoons culminate in a theatre performance and art show for parents. This camp is for children ages 6-11. The cost is $175 per week, with a 10 percent discount for NU employees. Additional information and registration form can be found at: http://www.castellaniartmuseum.org/education/kids-n-arts-camp/
The theme for Week 2 of camp is:
Say Cheese! Portraiture before Photoshop
Before the advent of photography, oil painting was used to capture the likeness of individuals. This week we will examine how artists used different techniques to emphasize different aspects of their subject. We will create our own series of portraits focusing on abstraction, naturalism and symbolism to show the personality, mood, and physical likeness of our subjects.
