Kids Camp: Fine Art. Fiber Art. Culinary Art.

KIDS ART CAMP 
(click here to download flier)
 
CHOOSE YOUR ART!

FINE ART - maximum 8 students
o This camp is designed for the student who
loves to draw, but needs direction or
encouragement. Learning to draw what is seen
(both real and imaginary) is a vital step for all other
art forms. Art is all about feeling the freedom to take
risks, to explore the unknown, to trust your own judgment. Because when you are
free to dream, you find the power to create.

FIBER ART - maximum 6 students
o Do you dream of making something with your own hands that you can wear?
Make a fashion statement by learning to make your own wearable art. So simple
to do. Camp projects include: felted, crochet and nuno flowers to wear, give, or
swap with friends and family.

CULINARY ART - maximum 4 students
o Curiosity created the cook! Calling kids for a week of mad-delicious food
experiments and creations! Kids will experience a world of hands-on culinary art
as they learn how to properly prepare, produce and present their international
edible delights.

Preparing for plein air painting

A great day for a plein air painting lesson with teacher Randy Blasquez.   There is a great view right outside the studio do and lots of shade in the front.
Here Randy shows her students some techniques and approaches to use when painting outdoors on location.  This is an awesome set up and one I will definitely try out in the field.  Have a great plein air painting trip to France Randy and students!!!

Art plays a part in supporting the local economy

  How does the local economy benefit from an artist workshop or class at Patris Studio and Art Gallery? Every Tuesday, Randy Blasquez and her class enjoys lunch at Old Soul, one block from the studio.  It seems like all the artists coming to the studio are enjoying the coffee, the food, the adult beverages available at  Old Soul at 40 Acres, 35th and Broadway in the Triangle District of Oak Park..  

Guess where we went for our cappuccino, coffee drinks, and lunch during this plein air workshop?  Right up the block to Old Soul. Art feeds the local economy and Old Soul feeds the artists!
