ArtReach Summer Art Camp Class Schedule

Week 1 : June 14 through June 18, 2004
The American Indian: Art, Craft, and Performance - Part I
Storytelling, Craft and Environment

The "American Indian" will be introduced through story as we begin to explore the native identity through arts, crafts, and installation/scene development.  We will paint, draw, weave, assemble, and sculpt works based on our own interpretations of traditional lore.

Week 2: June 21 through June 25, 2004
The American Indian: Art, Craft, and Performance - Part II
Process and Ritual in Art, Character Development, and Performance

Through artistic production, we will increase self-awareness essential for character development.  As we become actively engaged in the creation of costumes, props, backdrops, and expressive styles of communication, we begin to shape our experience through art and performance.  This week emphasizes the response to our environments, furthering our exploration of the American Indian.  Through painting, drawing and mixed media techniques, we will explore process and ritual in art while furthering character development.  On Friday, we will end with a final performance incorporating skills learned and developed throughout the week.

See Regina Stengel's photographs of the final performance, featuring Jim Sawgrass and his son, "Wild Cat", members of the Florida Muskogee Creek Tribe.
