Art of the World

From Sumi Ink in Asia to Aboriginal Art of Australia, we will learn the styles and symbols of other cultures as we create our art this week. We will make hand-built clay projects, ink drawings, and painted pottery of our own. This journey will take us around the world for inspiration and also through time. We will study the history of art in different cultures such as the red and black figure pottery of Ancient Greece.Each camp is divided into 2 groups of 20 kids - We group children by age to the extent that we are able, but are happy to keep siblings together at your request. Check with your friends to find out which group they are in, and let us know if you need help accommodating.  Each group will do the same projects. After care is also available from 3-6 pm for $20/hour where we can continue the creativity!Kids in After Care enjoy the full range free time activities and may also paint additional pottery if parents designate a budget to do so (budgets noted at drop off and balance paid at pick-up).(Once a week of camp is in your cart, click "add participant" and you will be able to add After Care).Brushstrokes is following CDC and City of Berkeley Covid guidelines.
