February 25, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
How to register for Art Camp:
Registration begins March 8. Our popular Art Camp at the Modern and Summer Art Study are back! This year we have reorganized the age groups. Art Camp is now for ages 5 to 13 and Summer Art Study is for ages 14 to 16. Our volunteer program returns as well; interested applicants must be 17 or older.
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s unique programs for young artists emphasize learning through direct observation of art and thoughtful art activities inspired by the current exhibition. This introduces students to some of the complex and challenging concepts and practices behind modern and contemporary art. Distinguished area artists are invited to design and lead art activities based on the art in the galleries. Activities encompass everything from art making in the traditional sense to interdisciplinary exploration. This year’s Art Camp focuses on works in The Collection and Then Some, while Summer Art Study looks at works in the Modern’s permanent collection and the special exhibition William Kentridge: Five Themes.
Grouped by age and accompanied by their counselor, art campers spend time in the galleries and on the grounds exploring art and architecture, followed by time in the Museum studio where they work with two artists each session. The instructors provide enriching opportunities to process, apply, and respond to ideas formed in relation to the art they see. The last day of camp ends with a reception and display of the campers’ artwork to celebrate their creative accomplishments with families and friends. Modern campers make exciting discoveries concerning art, the world, and themselves through Art Camp at the Modern.
