Concept
Take drawing and design to new heights in this drawing-based techshop. Learn the latest tools and techniques in illustration, graphic design and digital collage. Students use illustration software, digital cameras, amazing computers, drawing pads and styluses and printers. Digital projects will come to life through postcards, prints and zines. Young artists collage digital drawings onto photographs, learn to cut and blend found imagery, create computerized paint brushes and more! At the end of the week, participants print digital art in a catalog for everyone to take home and share with their family.

Art Break: Wow! Pow! Pop Art!
Olivia Martinez
Tuition $225
Code ZSK1302-24
Together we’ll gain inspiration from famous artists who were a part of the American Pop Art movement. This includes the Band-Aid dot paintings of Roy Lichtenstein and his comic book imagery, Jim Dine’s energetic hearts, Andy Warhol’s prints and portraits, and Claes Oldenburg’s giant colorful sculptures of everyday objects. A wide range of artistic media will be incorporated such as papier-mâché, construction paper, paint, chalk, and fabric to create bold, bright, and beautiful artistic creations. Art Breaks are an exciting program at Anderson Ranch Arts Center for kids ages 7-10. They are scheduled to complement breaks in the elementary school calendar throughout the year. Drop off and pick up will take place at the Evelyn and Martin Siegel Children’s Building, just inside the main Anderson Ranch entrance. Children should come prepared with a snack, lunch, water bottle, and appropriate apparel for a full day of art-making.
