Summer Artventures!

My awesome page   Who   Where   Art From Nature   Art Exploration   Wow!   Now what?   

A site was created by the '09 program staff to share highlights of our summer. We are excited to record our experiences creating and developing the program and hope you will enjoy this website. Like ArtVentures, it is a collaborative experiment.

Art Exploration

Welcome to Art Exploration!

During our artventures, we will…

Sculpt in clay!

  • Shape basic forms (cups and bowls) out of clay using a coil, slip and hatching method.  
  • Integrate these techniques for working with clay into free sculpture, whose forms can be taken from life or the imagination. 

Paint in acrylic on a range of supports!

  • Create both outrageous and common colors using red, yellow and blue paint and your knowledge of color theory. 
  • Learn brush techniques, how to wield a palette knife, and how to mix desired colors directly on your palette paper. 
  •  Make a take-home color charts so you can keep track of relationships between primary, secondary, and complementary colors.
