Painting Bootcamp (5 days)

In this bootcamp we help kids learn some key techniques and expose them to the concept of "isms" through a playful study of art movements & artists. We cover the spontaneous artistry of Fauvism and Dadaism art movements, study the works of popular artists, while guiding them to create their own masterpieces.   

At the end of the bootcamp, our junior artists go home with -        

• Techniques and tips to create painting compositions in different styles        
• Ignited curiousity about art movements & artists
• Bold understanding of colour along with 3-4 completed artworks

About Fauvism and Dadaism

Fauvism and Dadaism art movements are two of the lesser known "isms", but may be amongst the most fun periods in art evolution. Both these movements challenged the limitations of academic art, and artists from these periods promoted spontaneity, humour, the use of bold lines & colours and overall playfulness in their approach. Henri Matisse, Andre Derian, Salvador Dali are amongst the popular artists from this period and their work needs no introduction. We chose these approaches to introduce to kids as they promote individuality and artistic freedom and are a great medium to understand colours better!
