Summer Art of Filmmaking Camps at Sedona Arts Center provide a rich artistic environment for youth ages 10 to 14 yrs old. Instructed by Bryan Reinhart and Kelli Klymenko, students begin by deconstructing scenes from contemporary favorites, examining all the aspects that make a scene work. Students then develop their own story line to bring to the big screen.

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.

All materials are included.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

All Materials Included!

Color, Light, Shadow, Translucency – These are the ingredients that we will work with to create a beautiful painting for you to take home. Our subject will be flowers and using the glazing technique we will apply thin layer upon layer of oil paint to achieve the depth and translucency associated with all things in nature.

Students will be taught how to choose a composition, transfer it to the canvas and then begin the process of laying in color. This class will be taught in four sessions to allow for critical drying time between layers. We will focus on light and shadow, paying attention to brushwork and edges as we build up the design. Paintings will be done on a gallery wrap canvas and students will be given a choice of images to work from. Attention to detail is important and even more critical is the use of light and shadow to form the shapes while laying in color to complete the design.

Wine will be available to participants 21 years and older only.

Cost: $35 includes all art materials to complete your painting!
