SUMMER ART STUDIOS at Liggett Studios – Information Sheet
Summer is the time for fun and to explore new ways of thinking about who we are and to make new friends who share the same interests as ourselves. This summer Liggett Studios starts a whole new program geared towards those 3 areas: FUN, EXPLORATION & NEW FRIENDS in a 2 week program that is aimed at helping develop children’s imagination through a variety of media centered around the concept of making Artist’s Books. Through the investigation of the individual’s response to different media like photography, papermaking, clay, printmaking, story writing, wood, video and mixing those media together through experimentation with movement, sound, installation, sculpture, collage and assemblage, the individual comes up with their own way to interpret what an “Artist’s Book” is ... to them! And then we will have the final presentation of whatever they came up with on the final day of the session.
SESSION: June 16-27, 8:30am – 4:30pm Two separate groups: Students going into Grade 3-5 and 6-8. Instructors are Mery McNett & Steve Liggett.
