July 29 – Aug 2 Summer Camp 2024
Art Lab: Urban Street Art + Design (morning)
New York City is home to some of the most beautiful works of street art, especially in our home, Brooklyn! In this lab students will draw inspiration from community art to create their own art pieces and learn about culture, style, and technique, breaking through the negative perceptions of the amazing art form. This lab will foster their sense of community, creativity and further develop their artistic eye. This lab is part art, part design, and part exploration of the neighborhood with field trips. Students will be led on neighborhood excursions where they will discuss stylistic differences, reasonings behind them, and multimodal methods of street art.
