The Art of Light & Shadow: Pastel Landscape Drawing Workshop -Learn the foundational skills of landscape drawing while working with the beautiful medium of pastels! This workshop focuses on the essential elements of a great drawing: composition, perspective, and capturing light. We'll use soft pastels to study how sunlight falls across trees and buildings, and how to use blending to create realistic shadows and highlights. By the end of the camp, you'll have a solid understanding of how to translate a three-dimensional scene onto paper and create a collection of finished landscape drawings you'll be proud of.
Teaching artist: Judy Schonebaum

Week of June 8th -Stained Glass

  • First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley (map)

Design and make your own beautiful stained glass windows! Make your own or choose a traditional pattern, and learn about the elements of a strong design. Campers will learn all they need to make a pattern, cut and grind beautiful, colored glass, solder, and frame up a finished piece. Campers will start with a small project to learn the techniques and then move on to a larger, more complex design of their own creation. Always popular at CAMP 510, Stained Glass is an age-old technique that teachers campers about art and design as well as craftsmanship. If you haven’t tried Stained Glass before this is a great beginning, and if you have, this is a chance to go deeper and work on more ambitious projects and refine your skills. Expect to have a new stained glass window to hang at home for the whole family to cherish. Teaching Artist: Melinda Gray
