| 2007 Children's Art Workshop | July 5 - 14, 2007 -- 7 days |
| In 2006, the Children's
Art Workshop saw some innovations. Since many of the children's
families plan their summer activities around both the 4th of July and the
Children's Art Workshop, the schedule was set to begin the same
week as the July 4th holiday. In 2007, CAW will be awesome! Students will meet in small groups with others who are approximately the same age. The content level of each group will be matched to the unique needs of each age group. We hope this is the most fun summer ever for the kids in Huerfano County! Our goal is to provide an in depth experience that brings out the artist in each child. Older Students (9 - 12 year olds) A team of teachers led by Kenny Schneider will guide small groups of students through the town of La Veta, searching for the best watercolor painting sites and opportunities. Each student will receive a hand made backpack full of painting supplies. They will explore different techniques of design, proportion, space, color and composition. Younger Students (5 - 8 year olds) Mary Jean Fowler will lead the team of teachers for the younger group through the process of creating a three-dimensional animal form using paper mush (papier mache). Each student will build an armature, create the form and complete it with surface decoration. Art elements and principals will be woven into daily activities, as well as lots of summer fun and games appropriate for this age group.
