CAMP LOCATION: We are located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn right next to the J/M/Z train on Marcy Avenue, a block away from the B24 bus, and the Williamsburg Bus Terminal. Please visit Our Camp Website Link: www.thepaintedcloud.com for lots of camp photos and artworks by the kids.
CAMP FACILITIES: In a sunny Williamsburg studio embraced by dark-wood floors and a pressed-tin ceiling high enough for even the most expansive thought bubbles. Loads of imagination-stoking materials. Outdoor back deck. Nearby playground (just two blocks away) for outdoor play and fun in the sprinklers when the weather is nice.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Take on artistic ventures with paint, cloth, clay, and much more! Each week will focus on a material or art historical theme (past summers have included: Surrealism, Printmaking, Folk art, and Drawing Techniques). Class time includes art projects, drawing, playtime, and outdoor fun and sprinklers at the playground. Art sessions always leave room for students to work at their own paces, helping build confidence that carries over to every aspect of a child's life.
The Painted Cloud teachers are painters, woodcarvers, jewelry artists, and photographers, each with fine-arts degrees and a slew of exhibition credits to their names. They're also consummate play-dough sculptors, ice-cube painters, pipe-cleaner twisters, and paper-mask makers. We believe that a lifelong love of the arts is fostered when the process of art-making is prioritized.
An emphasis on process welcomes and supports all forms of creativity: some children are tuned in to compositional landscapes and color relationships, others are focused on representing the world as they observe it, others are most engaged when constructing or dismantling, and still others are operating on conceptual and performative levels. Classes focus on experimenting with innovative processes and a wide range of materials while increasing children's confidence in their artistic abilities. We strive to provide a positive and dynamic environment. We are committed to inspiring and sparking the imaginations of kids through art.
