Art in English for Youth, Summer 2011
For:
12-15 years old youth, who are English speaking or want to practice English while enjoying art-making
Time:
Week 23 (June 6th- 10th), 2011, 1:00-4:15 pm
What we'll do:
Workshop with Eungyung: Who am I? Who are we? : Self-discovery through colors and forms
We will be using various materials- painting, drawing, and three-dimensional materials throughout the program to emphasize on free self-expression through art- art as communication, expression and connection. In this workshop, the process of art-making is as important as the finished product. Participants will also spend time writing about their own process of art-making as reflection, then have time to share their art works, thoughts and feelings with the group.
Workshop with Laura: Our Place
We will think about enviroments and places we live in, looking for beauty, among other things, in our surroundings. Considering specific themes connected to our living enviroments and imagining how they could be different, we will make drawings. Later we will reproduce chosen elements from the drawings by painting and building.
Workshop with Michiko: Sound, Rhythm, Colors and Shapes
We will explore music from various genres and eras and create spontaneous and improvisational visual images relating to them. Some movements will be used as well to experience the relationships between visual, auditory and kinesthetic art.
Exhibition:
The last day of the workshops, we will have an exhibition where the youngsters can see their creations during the week. Parents and visitors are welcome to celebrate and marble with us!
