Join us in an outdoor adventure! Learn how to draw landscape, natural scenes, and architecture by traveling to various sites along the La Jolla Cove. In each three-hour session you will learn how to capture the essence of a landscape or outdoor still life. Miss Ellen will demonstrate the rules of perspective and sighting, and will show you how light constantly changes. We will start with small studies of natural objects using a variety of media including chalk pastels, oil pastels, watercolors, and acrylic paint. We will then move on to a complete landscape or outdoor still life. Sign up early; space is very limited! Students meet at the Athenaeum and then walk to the site with Miss Ellen.

FUN art lessons will include sculpture, paper weaving.

31. Chalk Painting for Children/Ages 7–12
Christina Snell
Chalk paintings, or street paintings, have been an honored tradition in Italy since the 1600s. Artists use the pavement as their canvas, and chalk, to create beautiful works of art! Students will learn how to work with chalk and pastels, and how to recreate and enlarge the artwork of the masters. Then on Friday, July 30, we will transform the sidewalks outside of the Athenaeum into fantastic masterpieces! Please make sure your child wears sunscreen and light clothing on July 30.

Be adventurous! Be imaginative! DIG IN AND JOIN THE FUN! Squish up that clay! Explore a variety of projects in basic hand-building with clay, creating large creatures, masks and imaginary environments. There also will be plenty of time on the potter’s wheel for everyone to learn techniques in throwing a pot. Try your hand at abstract sculpture, too. Remember to wear old clothes; this can get messy—yes! But, isn’t that what adds to the fun?
