Summer 2008 at LMBPS
As part of our growing education program we are offering children’s camps at LMBPS for the summer of 2008. Our children’s camps are designed to not only enhance your child’s creative experience, but to compliment the state and national standards required for arts education programs. These courses are designed so that your child could attend either an individual half-day or stay for the whole day and study a complimentary topic or activity. Our spots are limited, so sign up early.

da Vinci camp: Math/Science Enrichment Through Art (ages 13 and up)
Students in this camp will learn to "Think Like Leonardo" while exploring
the mathematical and scientific elements of the natural world through careful
observation and reflection. Looking to Renaissance art as inspiration, students
will learn observational drawing, record ideas and create a bound notebook
based on the famed notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. (morning session)
Bookbinding Basics (ages 13 and up)
In this camp we will learn the basic elements of traditional
bookbinding. Students will become familiar with traditional materials and tools
while learning to measure, cut, and sew. We will learn to make several books
ranging from pamphlets and accordions to more complicated bindings such as the
single-signature case binding. Each student will take home a minimum
of four books when this class is completed. We will discuss various aspects of
the history of bookbinding as we go. (afternoon session)
July 7 -July 11
Little Binders at the Bindery (ages 5-8)
Little binders will make books that fold out and pop up, books with secret
compartments and books that are easily recreated with materials found at home.Besides, the creative element of bookbinding, children will use math skills, as well as fine tune the motor skills involved in the book arts. (morning session)
Dying, Dipping, Folding and Ripping (Paper arts) ages 5-8
Have fun learning about the properties and possibilities of paper.
This camp will explore decorative techniques such as dying, stamping, marbling
and paste. Students will learn many ways to use these decorated papers including
origami, collage and much more.(afternoon session)

Printmaking/self-portraits (ages 8-12 and up)
Push, pull and press your way through the world of printmaking. This is a great introduction to printmaking that is accessible to all students at any level of artistic prowess. Students who take this class will create a series of self-portraits using a variety of techniques including monotype, relief and rubber stamps. They will be taught how and encouraged to visually depict the multiple layers of the self through fun and careful introspection.(morning session)
My Family History (ages 8-12 and up)
By exploring the history and story of our family trees, we conjur up images and develop characters based on our ancestors. Each student will explore his/her own family history and write a creative nonfiction piece
that will be bound into the very interactive and multi-dimensional carousel book using prints from morning session and photos or other fodder from home.(afternoon session)
July 21-July 25
Shan Shui (ages 9-13)
Shan, the character for mountain, and Shui, the character for water combine to define landscape in Chinese painting. Through a comprehensive study of balance, composition and structured practice, students study the art of Chinese landscape painting. Rigorous practice of the Shan Shui characters helps students master the correct way to hold the brush and how to control the flow of liquid. Students are exposed to many examples of Shan Shui paintings and have the opportunity to enrich their learning through further self guided explorations. While studying the Yin/Yang balance of opposites, students are challenged to create compositions in harmonious balance of positive and negative space. At the end of the week, students will create a beautiful wall hanging scroll. Drop by the shop to see an example.(morning session)
Asian Bindings (ages 9-13)
Together we will explore the rich and diverse history and tradition of Asian bindings.
Each student will make several books to take home. Students attending Shan Shui session will have the opportunity to showcase their work in books.(afternoon session)
