Summer Kids Camp: The Art of Filmmaking 
July 9–20, 2018

If you have a creative child looking for a brilliant summer opportunity, Sedona Arts Center has a unique program for you! Sedona Arts Center’s 2018 summer camps for creative kids features two weeks of instruction in filmmaking with Bryan Reinhart and Kelli Klymenko from July 9 through 20. Registration is open and scholarships are available.

Summer Art of Filmmaking Camps at the Sedona Arts Center provide a rich artistic environment for youth ages 10­–14. Students begin by deconstructing scenes from contemporary favorites, examining all the aspects that make a scene work. Students then develop their own unique story-line to bring to the big screen.

Filmmaking is a very collaborative process that involves all the arts. Students will explore writing, story development, acting, camera work, lighting, editing, graphics and presentation. The process creates a great opportunity for students to discover new interests and skill sets. The camp culminates in a screening of the final film but students have the opportunity to create their own individual edit during camp from the footage they have developed together. Limited Scholarship funds are available.

“Our summer camps offer young people the opportunity to explore visual communication, artistic collaboration, and creative process—and provide tangible and often amazing outcomes. Film involves many art forms as well as new digital technology to gain 21st century skills,” says Sedona Arts Center, Executive Director, Vince Fazio.

Cyndi Thau
Glazing Crash Course
July 10–19, 2018

Cyndi Thau, Director of the Fine Art Gallery at the Arts Center, teaches a Glazing Crash Course, where students learn oil painting using the glazing technique. Glazing is a method of applying thin layer upon layer of oil paint to achieve the depth and translucency associated with all things in nature.

Oil painting using the glazing method is excellent for creating complexity and form. Color, light, shadow, translucency —are the ingredients that you will work with to create a beautiful painting to take home in just four sessions. The course meets on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. over the course of two weeks. Each painting will dry between sessions allowing fresh layers to be applied every session. The course is for beginners but also great for more advanced painters who wish to learn this specific technique and enhance their skills in composition, color mixing and layering.

Soul Success Spoken Word Event by Arianne
Friday June 29, 2018

Sedona Arts Center proudly presents a special Soul Success Spoken Word event by artist, Arianne creator of Soul Food Gallery. The public is invited Friday, June 29, 2018 from 5 to 7 pm in the Art Center’s Special Exhibition Gallery for an evening of spoken word art essays, wine, and connection. Doors open at 5 pm and the presentation will begin at 5:30 in the Historic Art Barn in Uptown Sedona. Free and open to the public.

Bringing visibility to the powerful, invisible successes of the soul, Arianne will be sharing several of the spoken word essays that complement one of her interactive art collections: The Soul Success Medal for Humanity.

“Strength is multifaceted,” says Arianne, “It was clear to me that we needed medals for the invisible, emotional marathons humanity was also running. Because there should be a piece of tangible reward and acknowledgement for the massively important, soul-stretching, invisible battles we face out loud, as well as the ones we navigate and triumph privately. And if you know you’ve earned your fair share of these medals, please join us.”
Arianne’s work of Soul Food Gallery is showing at Sedona Arts Center’s Special Exhibition Gallery through July 1, 2018.

Arianne is an independent artist who created all that is Soul Food Gallery at SoulFoodGallery.com. Her work is not content to just sit—looking pretty, hoping someone will buy it. It’s a vehicle of service. It has work to do and people to see. It lives in real life and cyberspace to feed and nourish people through art and written word while using cooking as a vehicle for practical spirituality. It exists for tangible and intangible reasons.
