Camp Carlos 20 6 Summer programs for kids ages 7 to 17! The Michael C. Carlos Museum welcomes children and teenagers to spend the summer with art and artists. In the galleries of the Carlos Museum, camp participants will explore how artists throughout time and across cultures have used the materials of the earth to fashion works of art that express their humanity. This summer campers will have opportunities to mold clay, emboss metal, and create portraits guided by gifted Atlanta artists and teachers. Having instructed more than 2,000 young people in over ten years of operation, Camp Carlos provides a stimulating and rewarding summer experience for any child interested in the art and cultures of the world.

Camp Carlos 2006 Clay People Ceramics tour June 5 9 (ages 7 9) June 12 16 (ages 10 12) Like the stories of the gods who formed people from mud, the hands of ancient potters shaped figures and vessels from clay. The galleries of the Carlos Museum abound with works of art in clay from cultures around the world. Atlanta artist Ana Vizurraga will lead kids on an exploration of ceramic traditions of the ancient Near East, where the practice of firing clay began; Greece, where potters and painters mastered the forms and decoration of wheel thrown pottery; and sub-saharan Africa where women still create sophisticated and beautifully decorated works of art without use of the wheel. Test Your Metal Metalworking studio June 19 23 (ages 10 12) Ancient metalsmiths developed a variety of techniques to fashion bronze, silver, and gold into jewelry, armor, votive objects, and vessels. Many of these techniques are still used by artists today. In this session, campers will have the opportunity to work with Alan Bremer, president of the Atlanta Goldsmiths Association, to explore ancient techniques such as embossing, engraving, chainmaking, and patination in the galleries and in the studio.
A Journey Through India Cultural workshop June 26 30 (ages 7 9) July 10 14 (ages 10 12) Begin each day with the ancient Indian practice of yoga in this week-long exploration of the art, culture, and religions of India. See movement and serenity as expressed through Hindu and Buddhist sculptures in the Carlos galleries. Engage all of your senses with a visit to Atlanta's Hindu temple; hear tales of the Buddha and the Hindu god Rama; learn to cook Indian food with its multitude of spices; and explore traditional arts such as textile printing and the creation of threshold designs from colored rice powder. Body Art Design seminar July 17 21 (ages 7 9) Think tattoos and piercing are a contemporary trend? Visit the ancient American galleries and see giant earspools worn by men and roller stamps used for decorating the body with elaborate geometric patterns. From ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals worn for their protective power to mehendi designs drawn on the hands and feet of Indian brides, people have used body art to indicate power, wealth, and cultural roles. During this week, campers will take a look at art throughout the Museum and create wearable art of their own. Developing Characters Photography workshop for teens July 24 28 and July 31 August 4 (ages 13 17) Ancient Roman portrait busts tell stories about the people of their time. In much the same way, modern portrait photography captures the essence of people and fits more conveniently in your wallet! In this two-week camp for teenagers, photographer Angela West, who teaches photography at Emory, will teach the formal elements of straight and environmental portraiture. Photographing in 35mm black-and-white film, campers will learn to use setting, gesture, costume, and lighting in formal and informal settings to describe their subjects. This week of camp will include plenty of time in the darkroom, as well as visits to an exhibition of Ms. West's work and the offices of Jane Jackson, curator of the Sir Elton John Collection of Photography. Campers should bring a 35mm camera. Film and darkroom materials will be provided.
