Theme for week 1: Chinese Brush Painting

Chinese brush painting has developed continuously over the course of nearly 6000 years. Using Sumi-ink and opaque watercolors on rice paper, campers will explore the materials, the mentality and techniques of Oriental Brush Painting. The connection of the brush and ink to the paper is both satisfying and challenging. In almost every day you will go home with a beautiful painting, and expand your drawing and painting skills, even if you have never painted or drawn before. The camp will conclude with an art show for family and friends.

                                      

Theme for Week 2: Chinese Folk Music & Dance

Chinese Folk Dance also has a long history and some of the pieces are based on events from history. Campers will be introduced to Chinese folk dance, folk songs and folk music. Our instructor Zhang Li is the national prize winner from China. The camp will conclude with a recital and dance show for family and friends.
