Summer Camp on the Sun Porch offers quality art instruction to children ages 5-12 through an exploration of a rich variety of art techniques and processes. From the ancient art of Japanese brush painting to modern recycled wood sculpture, students will learn about influential artists and the materials and styles that made them famous. Inspired by the artists and materials introduced throughout the week, students will build artistic knowledge through creative, age appropriate learning experiences.
Sun Porch Studio’s art instructors are experienced professional Columbia University graduates. As dedicated full-time art educators in K-12 private schools, Eleana and Mary Jo are passionate about teaching and strive to create a comfortable, creative environment where children feel confident and eager to explore various art mediums and techniques. Both Eleana and Mary Jo have studied overseas at the world-renowned preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, and experienced first-hand how language, environment and access to tools can empower children to become life-long learners.
To successfully make each day a meaningful experience for young artists, students are organized into two age groups: ages 5-8 and 9-12. Young Explorers (ages 5-8) and Creativity Seekers (ages 9-12) engage in separate developmentally appropriate art activities during studio time and art history, and join together for morning welcome, lunch, athletics, and reflective activities at the end of the day. Summer Camp on the Sun Porch will be a memorable experience for any child interested in the visual arts.
Below is a brief explanation of daily activities as well as an example schedule. View our Pinterest board for a sneak peak into our creative plans.
Art History: Weekly and daily activities are centered around art mediums, techniques and professional artists. Students discuss the life and style of artists and create works of art inspired by their style or art technique.
Nature Drawing: Each day all students engage in nature drawing to build strong observational drawing skills and to promote awareness of the natural beauty outdoors and how art and science often go hand in hand. Students may have the opportunity to visit local nature preserves or outdoor landmarks for on-location nature drawing/painting. Parents are welcome to visit students at work and enjoy the scenic art setting.
Athletics: Each day all ages take part in athletics to promote physical wellness, cooperation and coordination.
Studio Time: All ages engage in studio time everyday. Students will be immersed in a variety of art techniques and mediums such as drawing/painting, sculpture, collage, recycled art, printmaking and fiber arts.
Friday Art Exhibition: Each Friday, students work together to create an art display of their art creations. An Exhibition is held at 1pm for parents and friends to view the creativity and learning that transpired throughout the week.
