YELLOW! POP into Art! Light: science + magic
Sonya Taylor Moore Maggie Stewart Ian Edquist
CONCEPT
Take a journey into
the extraordinary world of Vincent
6 — 8 van Gogh. What makes his style
so beloved by people around the
world? Why did he use such thick
paint to express himself? Was his favorite color
really yellow? We ask ourselves these questions
and more in daily lessons about the artist. We
consider the unique artistic style and expressive
qualities of Van Gogh’s paintings as we craft our
own artwork inspired by him. Students make
ceramic sunflower vases, oversized paint brush
sculptures, Starry Night painted canvases and
skillful self portraits throughout the week. Join
us on this incredibly colorful and imaginative
week of art!

Kazaam!
Pow!
Varoom! This week we look at
6 — 8 famous artists who were a part of
the American Pop Art movement.
We discover the Bandaid dot
paintings of Roy Lichtenstein and his comic
book imagery, Jim Dine’s energetic hearts,
and Claes Oldenburg’s giant cloth sculptures
of everyday objects. We take our inspiration
from these modern masters to create our very
own Pop Art pieces that reference the culture
of today. Students use a wide range of artistic
media - such as papier-mâché, construction
paper, paint, chalk, fabric and more - to create
bold, bright and beautiful artistic creations.

CONCEPT Dive into the world of
photography and engage with the
world around you using your eyes
and your trusty partner, the camera!
In this workshop we seek out the
desire for humans to capture the
world they live in and how those
images can tell us stories about
ourselves, where we’ve been,
and where we want to go. Using
a variety of tools and methods developed
over the ages, students will learn some of the
earliest processes for capturing images, such as
cyanotypes and pinhole cameras, building up
to the state of analog and digital photography
technology today. Students will explore the
Anderson Ranch campus for unique photo
opportunities and take home prints of some of
their favorites. Digital cameras (we encourage
you to bring your own if you have one),
computers and printers are available. Join us for
this exciting photographic adventure!
