All About Art, Week 2

“All About Art” offers a chance for campers to receive instruction specifically in the visual arts, learning to draw and paint in various styles, create sculpture from various media, and weave with different textures. They will learn art history, and develop an understanding of various periods of art, view video tours of famous art galleries, and weather permitting, take a “walking field trip” to a local art gallery on Friday, July 21.

Making Light will offer two complete weeks of visual art instruction, but campers can register for one or both weeks. At the end of the second week, on July 21, Making Light will host an art show in our studio, inviting parents and friends, from 4:30-5:30.

About Summer Camp at Making Light Productions

MLP is conveniently located in downtown Tallahassee at 355 N. Monroe, one block north of Tennessee St., at the corner of Monroe and Virginia (next to Hotel Duval). Our performing arts camps runs 8:30 – 5:30 each day, during which campers rotate between music, art, dance and theatre.  We have camp every week of the summer, except the week of 4th of July.

We accept campers ages 5-16, and we welcome children of all abilities. Our maximum number of campers is 20 students, divided by age group, and we have a ratio of at least one adult staff member to ten students at all times. Campers bring their own lunches, which we eat together in a communal dining area at around 12 pm each day. We provide a morning and afternoon snack (please alert us in writing of any food allergies or sensitivities ASAP), and weather permitting, we walk to a park once a day for an outdoor snack “picnic” and/or another outdoor activity.

After lunch each day, campers will enjoy 1.5 hours of quiet time, during which an age-appropriate movie related to the weekly theme will be shown on the big screen, and campers will have the option of watching the movie, drawing or reading in the Quiet Room, or playing on electronic devices. (Electronic devices are only allowed out during free time.)
