Can Do Kandinsky Camp, July 8 – 12
M-F from 9 AM – 3 PM
for ages 9-14

This summer camp will take a deep look at the work of Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky and how his paintings were influenced by music. Kandinsky had synesthesia, which meant that when he heard sounds, he saw color, and when he saw color, he heard music. We will learn how he thought about color and form (including what he thought some colors sounded like) and see how this pushed him towards abstraction expressionism – the freedom of expression of how one Feels – not on making realistic art. Students will create several art pieces in various media inspired by Kandinsky’s work.

Cost: $165
Taught by LeeAnn Brannon

Animation Camp (2-week camp) July 15 – 26
M-F from 9 AM – 3 PM

Put your imagination into motion! Whether it’s a motion picture or a meme, animation makes the impossible real. Over ten days, students will learn history, process, and technique. With storyboards, voiceovers, and music, teens will execute their own short animations frame-by-frame using clay, hand-drawn artwork, and photography.

Cost: $330
Taught By Ian Corey
