The summer bootcamp will be made up of 6 art workshops introducing contemporary art to children. Each workshop will tackle a different way of making and thinking from book binding, drawing, collage, sculpture, shadow sculpture and photography. Over the course of the 6 weeks we will create a body of work inspired by historical and contemporary, international and local artists, stories and our surroundings. Together as a group of little artists, we will then curate and exhibit our work in a final showcase at the end of the 6-week programme!
1. Introduction and Journal Making
1st July 2023
In this session we will get to know one another and make our very own art journals. The journal will accompany the children throughout the bootcamp, it will serve as a place for drawing, thinking and reflection.
2. Observation and Imaginative Drawing
8th July, 2023
In this workshop we will draw and then imagine a utopic future inspired by ‘The Little House’ by Virginia Lee Burton. We will look at contemporary and historical artists whose works are inspired by the urban and natural landscape of Malta.
3. Portraits and Characters
15th July 2023
We will get to know each other’s faces through portraiture. We will then create 3D characters using found materials. We will look at a range of outsider artists and contemporary artists to inspire our characters.
4. Facing Fears: Playing with Shadows
22nd July 2023
Inspired by Tim Noble and Sue Webster’s practice and building on last week’s session, we will use found objects to create interesting shadows and find light in the dark through cyanotype photo exposures.
5. Outing to Exhibitions and Printmaking Invitations to Exhibition
29th July 2023
In this session we will walk around an exhibition and learn about curation and exhibition design. We will discuss what an artist statement is and plan the labels for the exhibition. We will then learn about printmaking and make our very own prints for our upcoming exhibition.
6. Setting up Exhibition
5th August 2023
In this session we will set up the exhibition, finalise labels and artist statements and then invite parents and friends to view the work created over the past sessions.
Il-bootcamp tas-sajf se jkun magħmul minn 6 workshops tal-arti li jintroduċu l-arti kontemporanja lit-tfal. Kull workshop se jindirizza mod differenti ta’ kif tagħmel u taħseb mill-legatura tal-kotba, tpinġija, collage, skultura, skultura tad-dell u fotografija. Matul is-6 ġimgħat se noħolqu għadd ta’ xogħol ispirat minn artisti, stejjer u l-madwar storiċi u kontemporanji, internazzjonali u lokali. Flimkien bħala grupp ta’ artisti ċkejknin, imbagħad ser nikkuraw u nesebixxu x-xogħol tagħna f’wirja finali fi tmiem il-programm ta’ 6 ġimgħat!
