SUMMER CAMP // ARTUDIO x Kulturka Art Studio // PLANTS

About this event

This summer, New York’s ARTUDIO will become, for several weeks, a space of international artistic collaboration. The studio will host the European art studio Kulturka Art Studio , dedicated to art education and developing creativity through visual artistic practice. It is a studio founded by Viola Jocz — a renowned educator and curator of children's art. Kulturka’s work is followed by an international community of over 200,000 people. The studio’s original programs are implemented with children, educators, and cultural institutions, and their outcomes are presented and observed by audiences around the world. As part of this collaboration, three on-site, four-day art camps for children will be created. The program is based on Kulturka’s original artistic programs, which combine different fields of art— painting, sculpture, spatial activities, and design. We invite children to an extraordinary, 4-day art camp PLANTS , where plants become the main protagonists. During the camp, we will discover their world — both above the ground and beneath its surface. We will explore their textures, shapes, and colors in order to translate them into artistic action. Over the course of four days, children will: – create painterly interpretations of plants — from their visible forms to hidden root structures (Tropical Flower – above ground / underground) – design and build a home for a plant – create their own spatial flower – create sculptures inspired by the world of plants These four days will take place in a real art studio environment, where nature becomes the inspiration for creation.
