Campers will work with a variety of sculpture materials and tools to complete a 3D sculpture during this camp. \nEVERYTHING CLAY AND ESSENTIAL DRAWING & PAINTING TECHNIQUES (ages 13+)\nJune 19–23\, 10 AM–3 PM\nEverything Clay: This camp is perfect for the teen looking to explore various types of clay. During the week\, teens will get to use the pottery wheel to throw and embellish a functional ceramic piece that will be glazed and fired in the kiln. Teens will also learn the techniques for working with paper clay\, from building an armature to give the clay structure to decorating their creations using paint\, decoupage\, or other materials. Finally\, teens will explore polymer clay by making everyday objects in miniature.\nEssential Drawing & Painting Techniques: This camp is perfect for the teen looking to develop the foundational skills of drawing and painting.

Linear perspective\, color theory\, and building form with light and shadow will also be covered as teens render their artistic creations.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Olas Caribeñas/Caribbean Waves
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, March 18\, from 2-4 PM\, for an afternoon with the exhibiting artists of Olas Caribeñas/Caribbean Waves\, the Art Center’s interdisciplinary initiative exploring the visual art and folklife traditions of the Caribbean diaspora in New Jersey. We’ll tour the Art Center’s galleries\, hear from the artists\, and engage in a Q&A session with visitors. \nIn the Main Gallery\, we will hear from Jairo Alfonso about his exhibition Objectscapes. Alfonso is a Cuban-born artist who has been living and working in New Jersey for nearly a decade. This exhibition is a survey of artworks created in the last 10 years that are all similarly concerned with the cultural and societal meanings of everyday objects. \nIn The Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery\, we will hear from Los Herederos\, a media arts non-profit organization\, who is showcasing The Sonicycle\, a mobile audio-visual unit that engages communities in sharing stories\, music\, and cultural traditions. This interactive digital caravan is fully outfitted with a DJ turntable\, speakers\, audio players\, a projector\, and recording equipment. \nFinally\, we’ll hear from figurative painter Kevin Darmanie\, whose painting Jack & Jill is on display in the Art Center’s Stair-gazing gallery. Born in Trinidad & Tobago\, Darmanie utilizes photographs of himself and his friends to create his portraiture\, referencing elements of his own life and shared experiences to inform clean narrative works which explore complex relationships between image\, object\, gaze\, and landscape. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Winter Break Workshops for Adults
DESCRIPTION:5615 Torch Enameling\nInstructor: Sue Sachs\nTorch enameling is a fantastic way to add vibrant colors to your copper or fine silver pieces without the need for a kiln. In this fun and direct process\, watch enamels transform from powder to colorful glass as your piece changes temperature with heat from a torch.

Learn the skills that it takes to capture your animal companions using an incredibly versatile medium: pastels. Following demonstrations\, you will be given an in-depth education on all the aspects of rendering a variety of animals including\, but not limited to\, how to pick colors from reference image; the importance of color theory; and how to create texture with layering. By the end of this session\, you will have all the skills it takes to create pastel masterpieces of beloved animals or even your own pet.\nWednesday\, 1/4\, 10 AM–4 PM\nTuition: $115 \n5650 NEW! Introduction to Gouache\nInstructor: Amanda Ciurciu\nLearn how to paint with a vibrant\, versatile\, water-based medium: gouache!

Painting the Colors of Winter in Watercolor\nInstructor: Mark de Mos\nCreating a successful winter scene in watercolor is an exercise in both visual observation and careful color application. The whites in a snow scene are in reality very colorful\, as the snow reflects the light source and other objects\, while also allowing for shadows of varying shades and tints. This workshop will cover the basics of creating snow scenes from your own reference photos— photos can be snow-free and the instructor will demonstrate how to add snow to the scene! An optional technique to replicate falling snow using gouache will also be covered.\nSunday\, 1/8\, 10 AM–4 PM\nTuition: $115
