Kids age 8 to 18 who enjoy art have the chance to spend the week of June 13-17 learning the lives and practices of four American artists at the Summer Arts Academy, sponsored by the Creative Arts Council of Wells County.
All of the informative sessions will be held at the Arts Commerce & Visitors Centre on 211 Water St., Bluffton.
Camp Director Hallie Koenig has planned informative sessions about artists Chuck Close, Annie Liebovitz, Louise Nevelson and Andrew Wyeth.
Students will arrive at 10:30 a.m. and depart at 2:30 p.m. with their own packed lunches for a day working on projects with the famous artists’ styles—found object assemblages, realistic portraits, watercolor landscapes and digital photography.
An arrangement for camera sharing may be made for those who do not own a digital camera. A list of common, affordable supplies will be provided to those who enroll and many supplies will be provided. Fee for the week long camp is $100 per student with a sibling discount available. Students will display their works on Friday, June 17 for a gallery talk for their families and guests at the close of the camp.
Camp Director Koenig studied studio art at Vincennes University before completing her BA in Art History at IU. She attended graduate school at Northern Illinois University. She has taught at Killeen, TX and Arlington, VA before taking her current job as Norwell Middle School’s art teacher. She has served on the board of the Coupeville, WA arts group and as Arts Commissioner for the City of Oak Harbor, WA. She currently is a board member of the Creative Arts Council of Wells County.
