Welcome

Good morning, artists! Welcome to your very first day of Camp at Corner House Studio! I’m Ms. Jen, and I run this awesome studio and I’m so happy you’re here.

Introduce teachers

(Gesture to teachers)*

• "These are your amazing art teachers! Give them a big wave and let’s hear their names!"
• (Each teacher waves and introduces themselves quickly)

Icebreaker

‘What’s your name, and would you rather paint with a toothbrush or a spaghetti noodle?’

What Kind of Camp Is This?

Here at Corner House, we are real artists. This week you’ll be painting, drawing, sculpting, printing, and trying all kinds of materials.

Your teachers are going to show you all kinds of cool ways to make art, and you’ll get to make lots of creative choices about your work. We want you to experiment, make mistakes, and try new things—just like real artists do.

Studio Rules— Stay Safe. Be Kind. Show Respect. Have Fun.

We have four big rules in the studio. Can you help me figure out what they mean?

Stay Safe

What are some ways we keep ourselves and others safe at art camp?

• Calm bodies & walking feet
• Keep our hands to ourselves
• Follow directions from your teachers the first time

Be Kind
