Passport to the Arts
Summer Getaway
with Laura Bledsoe & Christine Palmer
Grades 1st - 3rd and 4th - 6th
The class will be separated into two
groups, Grades 1-3 and Grades 4-6, and will alternate between Music
and Art.
In this 5 day camp children will travel
through Africa, Asia, Europe and Mexico exploring the music and art of
these countries. A careful look at the history and art of different time
periods in each country will inspire the making of their own art
collection, modeling the medium or style of the art studied. Students will
then move to the beat and rhythm of the music as they explore a little of
the each country's history and music, play children's musical games and
then make their own music in the style of the each country.
This will provide a great supplement to any history or fine arts
curriculum and a fun way to spend a week this summer!

Students will learn the essential elements of art: color, value, space,
line, texture and shape, and the principles of design: contrast, balance,
movement, repetition, and dominance. Each day we will focus on examining
and discussing a famous artwork to discover these elements in action, and
then participate in hands on art projects where students will be able to
develop their artistic skills. Projects include collage, painting,
sketching and sculpture. This camp would be a great preparation for a
student planning to take or continue studio art classes in the fall
semester, or any student who wants to gain a better understanding of art.

Movies as Literature
with Melissa Hardy/Brian Thomas
Movies are an appealing vehicle to use in teaching stories or what is
formally called literary analysis. Every story has a purpose and
movies follow the structure of a short story. The story is
usually told from one point of view, follows a single plot line and
has a few well-defined characters. This simplified structure
makes it easier for students to dig deeper into the story’s elements.
This course is intended to help students understand the elements of
good story-telling, identify and respond to messages and techniques
used by filmmakers. The students will develop the ability to critique
stories and their underlying messages and analyze them from a moral
point of view.
This summer camp will use Movies as Literature curriculum student
book, $16.00.
Movies to be watched and analyzed include Arsenic and Old Lace
(comedy), The Emma, (Romantic comedy), Friendly Persuasion (historical
drama), To Kill a Mockingbird (classic), A Man for all Seasons
(historical drama). These films are PG.
This class is for high school students only.
Homework: 1-3 hours per week. One
semester credit
Class meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:30 pm - 4 pm for two
