YOUTH SUMMER CAMP — AGES 6–11
AGES 6–9
The FAC’s Bemis School of Art and La Foret Conference and Retreat Center Present:
Cardboard Picasso
Art and Acting in the Forest
More than just a painter, Pablo Picasso created dimensional art from paper, a variety of cardboard, paints, and thin metals. Join us as we look at his work and create our own mask creations, distorted portrait collages, and constructions from paints, pastels, paper, and unlikely materials. We will be doing simple printmaking on various papers with Picasso-like imagery. Supplies will be provided.
Instructors: Jodi Papproth and Sophia Hanna Enjoy outstanding arts education with instructors from the Fine Art Center’s Bemis School of Art set in the lush forest at the 400-acre La Foret Conference and Retreat Center. The FAC’s partnership with La Foret has a long history. Alice Bemis Taylor, one of the three benefactresses of the Fine Arts Center, had her summer home at La Foret. The Taylor Memorial Chapel, built in 1929, was designed by the Fine Art Center’s architect, John Gaw Meem.
