2025 Summer Art Camp (Grades 1-4) - "Whimsical Artists & Their Work"

$60.00

Dates: July 28-30, 2025

Time: 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 a.m.

Age Group: Children in grades 1-4

Cost: $60

Join Latrobe Art Center for some Summer art fun! For three days, children in 1st through 4th grade will be taught by artists from Latrobe Art Center and create works of art inspired by famous artists using a variety of media and techniques.

 

Project 1: Jeff Koons – “Balloon Dog”

Students will sculpt their own balloon dog using Model Magic clay, shaping it on wax paper with the help of provided templates. Once molded, they will mix two colors of pouring paint to create a custom hue for their dog. Using a plastic mesh drain, they will apply a marbling effect for added texture and visual interest. Meanwhile, students will prepare a flat canvas background with two layers of acrylic paint. Once their balloon dog has dried, it will be mounted onto the background to complete the piece.

Project 2: George Rodrigue – “Blue Dog”

Students will begin by freehand drawing a large dog on cardboard, following step-by-step guidance from the instructor. Once satisfied with their drawing, they will outline it using 3D puffy paint. After the paint dries, a sheet of heavy aluminum foil will be carefully adhered to the cardboard using spray adhesive. With a Q-tip, students will gently trace over the dried paint, pressing the foil to create a raised, embossed effect. Finally, they will paint within the outlined shape, allowing the silver lines to stand out and bring their Blue Dog to life.

Project 3: Wassily Kandinsky – “Abstract Flowers in a Vase”

Students will start by painting a background featuring a table and a wall using acrylic paint on mixed media paper. For the vase, they will select from seven pre-designed black-and-white patterns or create their own unique design. Next, they will craft six abstract flowers, layering concentric circles of different colors within larger circles. Once the vase is glued onto the background, students will arrange their flowers to create a dynamic composition. Finally, they will draw stems connecting the flowers to the vase using a white chalk pencil, then outline them with a black Sharpie, including the defining line between the table and the wall.
