Animal Art + Capoeira

Animal Art with Colby Cadigan

Campers will learn the steps of a basic painting workflow, which will help them have the confidence to create all the animal inspired paintings they desire! After learning how to manage paint supplies and properly care of brushes and other equipment, students will work on a series of paintings of increasing complexity. Through these paintings, campers will learn:

• How to mark a basic sketch in pencil for a painting.
• How to paint with just one color
• How to paint with only two colors
• How to mix basic colors that commonly appear in animals

Once these fundamental ideas of painting are established, students will then create a final animal portrait (or a few) of a creature - real or fantastical - of their dreams!

Capoeira with Silvio Dos Reis

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art. In this class the students will learn about the movements, music, history and philosophy of Capoeira. The students will have fun learning the basic Capoeira movements such as "ginga" and explore some flexible movements like cart-wheel and handstands. Learn how to build the body dialogue when they work together with their friends to perform the Capoeira game, and also how to play the Capoeira instruments and sing songs in Brazilian Portuguese.
