The Arts Council of Princeton offers weekly sessions that are intensive pursuits of wide ranging studio and performing arts for ages 10-12 and 13-16 designed to engage students and enhance their experience through individ-ualized attention. Many weeks feature two related areas in which the participants will build upon their knowledge in each and consider the relationship between both (Full-Day Paired Studios). Other weeks feature full-day immersion in a particular discipline (Full-Day Concen-tration). During Week 2 (July 5 - 8), with other full-day sessions, students are given a half-day option that is dedicated to a specific studio (Special Effects). Weeks 7 and 8 (August 8 – 19) feature an exciting new afternoon program for ages 13-16, Murals: Princeton Panels. This new two-week studio session meets daily (Mon – Fri) from 12:30 - 3:30pm. Another highlight is a collaboration with Princeton University Art Museum during which students in some sessions will spend part of the day in the galleries and the other part in our studios interpreting their first-hand experiences. All sessions are led by professional artist educators who will guide participants along the way to achieve individual creative goals while fostering group collaborations in a supportive environment.

Campers will work with traditional and innovative methods to create everyday wear and one-of–a-kind couture fashion! For inspiration, campers will explore design styles found in casual and couture lines from various fashion

designers throughout history. They will also explore themes and motifs found in nature for ideas to implement in their fabric designs! After learning the fundamentals of fashion illustration, design development and basic sewing skills (including construction and as-semblage techniques), they will create their very own collection. Learn about fabric design and create custom tex-tiles to use in creative fashion-forward clothing and accessories. Campers are encouraged to bring in light to medium weight cotton garments to reinvent into clothing and accessories. The week will conclude with a Fashion Show and exhibition to showcase and celebrate everyone’s designs and creations. Fam-ily and friends will be invited to share in the celebration!

JUNE 27 – JULY 1 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:DRAWING & PAINTING ACADEMYSusan CarlowiczStudents will explore various drawing and painting exercises through creative 2D projects. Drawing, the foundation of visual arts, will provide a valuable basis during the early sessions. This section is designed for those students interested in drawing and painting and who want to learn how to use creative materials in traditional, as well as excit-ing new ways! Participants will explore the academic approach to drawing and learn how to take their art beyond basic line drawing and transform their renderings into visually striking images. Students will cover a variety of techniques using pencils, colored pencils, watercolors and acrylics. In order to advance their skills of obser-vation, they will study such concepts as form, value, light, shadow and color

and learn how to apply these concepts in such a way as to render realistically and convey their vision as an artist. Get acquainted with a range of drawing and painting materials to translate percep-tions onto paper while learning the principles of composition. The group will study works by Master artists to blend the old with the new; helping each student find their own distinctive style! This session will include a visit to the PUAM to observe, study and discuss various techniques. This will inspire everyone to return to the studio and create artwork based on their study at the Museum. Students will also be treated to plein air painting and/or drawing outside on ACP’s grounds.

GRAPHIC DESIGNMegan BeckerLearn what it takes to be a graphic designer – a participant in one of today’s most dynamic and exciting fields. Located in ACP’s Digital Imag-ing Studio, students will use Adobe programs (Photoshop and Illustrator) to complete real-world graphic design projects. Building off in-class demon-strations and professional examples, students will be encouraged to develop their own style and work on projects that are important to them. They will design their own logos, create event posters, make book covers and more. This camp session will pay special attention to industry trends, looking at artist blogs and interviews. Students will discuss the ins and outs of type, color and style and how those choices can affect production and its market-ing. So get creative and start thinking like a graphic designer!

JUNE 27 – JULY 1 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY CONCENTRATION:POTTERY 101Kathleen PreziosiThis popular intensive full-day program will allow participants to learn the basic techniques involved in making ceram-ics and then challenge them to put that knowledge to use in creating individual pieces. Morning activities will typically focus on the fundamentals of working with clay on the potter’s wheel: wedg-ing, centering and shaping the clay on the wheel, followed by learning how to form the clay and then trim the base to finish. During the afternoon sessions,

they will turn their attention to a differ-ent approach: translating 2D designs into 3D forms. Participants will create their own personal designs, using their inspirations, then translate that design into a 3D form. They will use the slab roller and the extruders, as well as pinching techniques to construct the clay piece. Sessions will begin and end with demonstrations, discussions on ceramics in art, introduction to studio materials. Students will also draw from studio ceramics magazines and books and ceramic websites for further exploration.

JULY 5 – JULY 8 [no camp July 4] (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:ART & MUSICSusan HoenigCampers will discover the many ways in which visual artists and musicians inspire one another. Just as composers arrange notes to create music, artists create compositions using line, shape, pattern, rhythm and color. Campers will have fun exploring different media including watercolor, acrylic paints, oil pastels and mixed media. They will listen to classical music, the blues, jazz and more for inspiration. They will paint music in rows, in concentric circles and as free-flowing forms with abstract colors.

MAKING MUSIC WITH CLAYDebi Lampert-RudmanFlutes, drums, chimes, maracas, and whistles are just some of the fun ways to make music with clay. Using self-hardening clay, acrylic paints, a variety of fibers and recycled materials, campers will create a mini orchestra of tuneful clay instruments. A “recital” will be held featuring student clay instru-ments on the final day of the camp.

JULY 5 – JULY 8 [no camp July 4]AGES 10-12: 9:00AM - 12:00PMAGES 13-16: 12:30 - 3:30PMSPECIAL EFFECTS Megan BeckerSpecial effects transform imaginative ideas into a new reality.

They will morph animals and manipulate photos. Students will enjoy a fun and interactive environment in which they can share ideas and build off each other’s creativity. This session will incorporate a mixture of digital drawing with computer effects to give students a unique portfolio of projects to bring home!

JULY 5 – JULY 8 [no camp July 4](AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:POETRY IN MOTIONTim CravenExplore the means to make a poem move! To paraphrase the American poet Ezra Pound, poetry becomes weaker the further away it moves from

music and dance. This new session will focus on the ways in which successful poems dance: the rhythm of language, shifts in line and stanza, the melody of the words and the leaps from one im-age to another. Together students will discuss different poems and uncover the various movements that are pulsing within them. They will then write their own poems based on what they have learned and read them aloud to show-case their individual moves.

KINETIC SCULPTURE: ART THAT MOVESBob JenkinsStudents in this new combined session will discover the exciting methods involved in creating 3D works of art ... even exploring the 4th Dimension (time and movement in kinetic sculpture). They will learn about the properties of a variety of sculptural media: wood, cardboard, wire and more. They will practice various assemblage methods. Each student will be given full-range and encouragement while they define their creative voices and visions.

JULY 11 – JULY 15 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:PET PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHYPete CookCampers in this exciting new session will explore ways to use photography as a medium to express the inherent beauty of our four-legged friends. Working in conjunction with area shelters who will bring subjects to the Arts Council, as well as picturing your own special companions at home, campers will pay close attention to the expressive gestures that reveal the very nature and soul of that beauty.

ANIMATED ANIMALSGwen SylvanAs a complement to Pet Portrait Pho-tography, this afternoon session will take images of favorite furry friends and bring them to life. Campers will learn how to draw animals both realisti-cally and in cartoon format. Using Ado-be Flash and other animation software, they will create stories and animate their pet portraits in short movies.

JULY 11 – JULY 15 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:PORTRAITURE: 2DBarbara DiLorenzoInvestigate the portrait in its many 2D forms including painting, drawing and mixed media. Students will review classic and contemporary styles to learn the many ways to represent the human face. They will be encouraged to explore their own self-portrait in the style that resonates best with them. This camp session includes guided visits to the Princeton University Art Museum, a valuable art resource in our own backyard.

PORTRAITURE: 3DBob JenkinsIt’s OK to be two-faced in this new 3D portrait session. Artists are challenged to create portraits which convey emotion and the personality of the sitter. Students will learn the basic characteristics of the human face and how to replicate those in clay. They will be taught proportion and relationships between features in order to accurately capture likeness. The challenge will be in using varying facial expressions to convey different emotions. Consider Janus, the Roman God associated with

transitions who is typically depicted as having two distinct faces/expressions. Clay will come to life in this exciting stu-dio. This camp session includes guided visits to the Princeton University Art Museum, a valuable art resource in our own backyard.

JULY 11 – JULY 15 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:B&W PHOTOGRAPHYPeter CookThis is a great way to understand and appreciate what existed in the pre-digital era. Students will learn about digital pho-tography’s analogue relatives and how to bring those effects to life in the Dark-room. This camp session explores the ins and outs of film-based photography. Students will learn how to “paint” with light, create hands-on images without a camera, as well as record images on film with a 35mm camera and lens. They will also explore some of the mysteries

of the Darkroom by learning how to develop film and how to create expres-sive and powerful black and white prints. Students should bring a working fully functional 35mm camera, if they have one. A limited number of ACP cameras are available on an as-needed basis (first-come-first-served).

DIGITAL PHOTO DESIGNGwen SylvanExplore the digital side of photography in this new session during which students will learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to complement their photo skills. This pow-erful and popular software tool empowers students to expand their darkroom tech-niques to create amazing and expressive images.

JULY 18 – JULY 22 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY CONCENTRATION:STOP-MOTION: CLAYMATION MAGIC Gwen Sylvan & Mary WartenbergCombine the art of colorful clay sculp-ture with stop-motion film to make fun and engaging videos. Spend the entire day creating fantasy characters, scenery and scripts. Capture the action with cameras then digitally edit final movies incorporating sound effects and music. Family and friends are invited to attend the screening on Friday to celebrate in the campers’ considerable achieve-ments and talents.

*Due to the popularity of this program, we have included two separate weeks (weeks of July 18 and July 25). Repeat campers are encouraged to put their knowledge and skills to use in creating increasingly complex films.

JULY 18 – JULY 22 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:ExPRESSIVE PORTRAITSSusan HoenigArtists are challenged to create portraits which convey emotion and the person-ality of the sitter. Students will look at the portraiture images and narratives of such Expressionistic Artists as Oskar Kokoschka, Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Chaim Soutine and Pablo Picasso. They will focus on capturing their own movements and expressions in portrai-ture. Students will work with oil pastels, acrylic paint on canvas and paper. They will use clay, plaster and mixed media to create works in 2D and 3D.

IMPRESSIONIST LANDSCAPESSusan CarlowiczStudents will explore the lives and works of Impressionist artists through

the study of landscape artwork which came to redefine French art in the mid- to late-19th Century! The Impression-ists shocked (and shook) the traditional “Academic” art world in virtually every sense: technique, subject matter, materials and more. No longer tethered to representing historical scenes, they freely painted canvases filled with the natural beauty of such subjects as trees, fields and oceans. Impressionists would often take their materials out-doors (en plein air) and paint what they saw. Students will explore this innova-tive painting technique with one of their projects outside on ACP’s grounds. Instead of painting realistically, the Impressionist’s brushstrokes were short and thick and they applied paint quickly to creatively convey emotions. Students will study the use of light and color by studying works of such Mas-ters as Claude Monet, Pierre Renoir, Vincent van Gogh and Camille Pissarro. A variety of materials will be used to capture landscapes and enable partici-pants to convey their own emotions on canvas to help find the “impressionist” that lies within them! Learn about the artists’ lives and explore the Impres-sionist landscape painting period with lessons, gallery visits and painting en plein air.

JULY 18 – JULY 22 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:FIGURE STUDIES: 2DBarbara DiLorenzoStudio time will be dedicated to learning and practicing techniques to render surface anatomy in 2D. Partici-pants will gain a better understanding of the underlying skeletal structures and proportions of the human figure

to prepare for figure sculpture in the paired 3D studio. Examples from Clas-sical art to more recent works of 20th Century artists will provide excellent examples of the full-range of possible figural expression for consideration. This camp session includes guided visits to the Princeton University Art Museum, a valuable art resource in our own backyard.

FIGURE STUDIES: 3DBob JenkinsThis exciting new camp session is an introductory sculptural clay course exploring the human form. Working independently with the figure, stu-dents will develop the technical and self-critical skills to successfully shape their work and render volume to their figurative forms. They will learn ges-ture, proportion and anatomy through the observation of a plaster cast and demonstrations. This session is in-tended for students who seek a sound understanding of figurative sculptural clay technique. This camp session includes guided visits to the Princeton University Art Museum, a valuable art resource in our own backyard.

JULY 25 – JULY 29 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY CONCENTRATION:STOP-MOTION: CLAYMATION MAGIC Gwen Sylvan & Mary WartenbergCombine the art of colorful clay sculp-ture with stop-motion film to make fun and engaging videos. Spend the entire day creating fantasy characters, scenery and scripts. Capture the action with cameras then digitally edit final movies incorporating sound effects and music. Family and friends are invited to attend the screening on Friday to

celebrate in the campers’ considerable achievements and talents.

*Due to the popularity of this program, we have included two separate weeks (week of July 18 and July 25). Repeat campers are encouraged to put their knowledge and skills to use in creating increasingly complex films.

JULY 25 – JULY 29 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:ECO-PRINTINGKathy MetaxasCampers will have fun “capturing” nature’s colors! Activities during this camp session will focus on experiment-ing with techniques used in transfer-ring botanical materials found in nature to make beautiful handmade paper, along with creating dyes and eco-prints on fabrics (including t-shirts). Campers will take nature walks to gather flowers, leaves, nuts, barks and berries. Using their “bounties”, campers will first cre-ate their handmade paper imbedding the botanicals into the paper. Later in the week, they will learn how to extract dyes and prints from plant materials on fabric. Each camper will leave at the end of the week with their own eco-printed t-shirt and a small stack of their own handmade paper!

ART & NATURESusan HoenigCampers will have fun exploring the relationship between art and nature through various mixed media projects. They will make a nature diorama featur-ing trees and mushrooms using clay and plaster. When dry, they will paint it with acrylic paints. They will learn about our local wildlife, creating 3D

birds that “fly” through the studio. Fantasy birds are also welcome to join the flock. This session will enable students to assemble sculpture also utilizing found recyclable materials.

JULY 25 – JULY 29 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:ABSTRACT ExPRESSIONISMNancy ShillAbstract Expressionist art is stimulat-ing indeed and evokes very personal interpretations and reactions. It allows room for individuality and uniqueness. It wakes us up and gives us a jolt. It poses challenging questions and invites further discussion. Students in this session will explore techniques and strategies to approach non-rep-resentational art. They will examine the styles of such great masters as Kandinsky, Kline, Miro, De Kooning, and Schwitters. They will explore how these artists achieved their distinctly personal self-expression. Further, with the basic elements of color, line, shape, composition and individual creativity, they will use a broad mixture of media to develop their own style and have much to celebrate at week’s end!

WATERCOLOR PAINTINGBarbara DiLorenzoStudents in this session will become more familiar with one of the world’s most beloved master watercolorists, John Singer Sargent (185 –1925), by studying his landscapes, portraits and Venetian canal scenes. Using these as inspiration, students will create their own paintings. The emphasis will be on free, colorful painting strokes that depict light.

AUGUST 1 – AUGUST 5 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY CONCENTRATION:THEATER: ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLANDStacy GreenblattDive down the rabbit hole to explore Wonderland with Alice! Grow and shrink, eat and drink and remember to stay away from the Queen of Hearts. Hop with the White Rabbit, smile with the Cheshire Cat, fool around with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and join the tea party with the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Family and friends are invited to attend the final performance on Friday to celebrate in the campers’ considerable achievements and talents.

AUGUST 1 – AUGUST 5 (AGES 10-12)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:B&W PHOTOGRAPHYPeter CookThis is a great way to understand and appreciate what existed in the pre-digi-tal era. Students will learn about digital photography’s analogue relatives and how to bring those effects to life in

the Darkroom. This camp session explores the ins and outs of film-based photography. Students will learn how to “paint” with light, create hands-on images without a camera, as well as record images on film with a 35mm camera and lens. They will also explore some of the mysteries of the Darkroom by learning how to develop film and how to create expressive and power-ful black and white prints. Students should bring a working fully functional 35mm camera, if they have one. A limited number of ACP cameras are available on an as-needed basis (first-come-first-served).

COLOR THEORY THROUGH WATERCOLORBarbara DiLorenzoUnderstanding color is a vitally import-ant component in art making. Students will begin with simple exercises, then proceed to full paintings with step-by-step guidance in understanding what makes some colors fall flat while other color combinations sing.

AUGUST 1 – AUGUST 5 (AGES 13-16)FULL-DAY PAIRED STUDIOS:PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAYPeter CookRemember the age-old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words”! Come and explore the power of an im-age (even more so enhanced when they are combined as a unified series). This session will guide students through the process of creating a visual narrative using a suite of images to tell a story. They will choose a theme and develop it over the course of the week.
