Sizzling Summer Fun!
When it comes to summer camp, many parents want their kids to try something new and different, have fun with their peers, but also keep their brains stimulated. Experts who study the brain say that whenever you do something creative, like drawing, painting or sculpting, you are giving your brain a terrific workout. We have all new art camps for 2013 that are sure to give your child's brain a fun workout!

Kidz Night Out (ages 9-13)

Join us August 16th from 5:30pm-8:30pm at The Studio at Rush Creek (9481 Garland Lane N, Maple Grove MN 55311).

Google Art Project: Making Art Accessible Online

Many of you have heard of Google Art Project, a collaboration between Google and many international museums to offer online access to high-resolution images of artwork. The site enables visitors to virtually tour these partner museums’ galleries and view up-close detail of each piece of art. Users can assemble their own user gallery to compile a virtual collection of art.

Last April, Google Art Project expanded its museum partnerships and now it features more than 32,000 works of art. This second iteration of the site has enhanced its search capabilities to help visitors more easily find art by filtering their search capabilities.

Google Art Project’s Education link offer tools and resources for teachers and students. One tool is a Google Art Project You Tube channel that offers lots of educational videos including profiles of artists and museums. Many teachers are using Art Project as a virtual field trip allowing students to “walk” the hallways of famous museums, explore their rooms and zoom in on artwork. Some of the museums on Art Project have lesson plans that accompany their artwork. Whether it’s an art history, drawing or a design class, Art Project is an obvious resource. Incorporating visual arts into any classroom can be made fun with this tool.

Rolling Stamp Project Idea

Rolling Stamps

Rolling stamps give you an easy way to create repeating patterns. Make your own unique and unusual designs using this simple technique!
Take thick rubber bands and wrap them around a sturdy cylinder like a wooden dowel, small rolling pin or brayer. (If using a printing brayer, use a slot screw driver for leverage to remove the rubber cylinder from brayer handle, wrap with rubber bands and replace handle.)
Use an ink pad or printing inks to coat the rubber bands/cylinders. Then roll out on a piece of paper and watch your design develop.

It’s a quick and easy way to add patterns to any surfaces! Try it on a canvas tote bag, make unique wrapping paper or just have fun creating different designs!
