Summer Classes and Workshops at Artworks Studio

 Summer time is a wonderful  time to be creative and explore art. This summer Laura is offering several different classes for kids as young as 3 and as old as ....well you get the idea-

 

"One World - One Dream" Summer Art and Music Day Camp

One World—One Dream is a day camp for youths interested in exploring world cultures through the arts. Building on the Olympic theme, Judy Panning of Young Musicians Workshop in Lake City Iowa and Laura Comito of Artworks Studio in Carroll Iowa have teamed up to offer this unique and exciting cultural experience.

 Through music, dance, and art, participants will spend the week learning about the cultures of: China, Japan, Africa, Australia and the Americas. At the end of the camp there will be an art gallery displaying pieces created during the camp and a parade of artists performance showcasing the music and dances learned.

Judy Panning of Young Musicians Workshop brings an excitement for world music and an array of percussion instruments to share with students as they perform songs and movement sequences from around the globe. We will, of course, explore the Olympic Theme, but there will be African drumming, Chinese ribbon dancing, African American spirituals, and musical games from other cultures.

Laura Comito of Artworks Studio brings her love of world cultures and history with projects such as dragon dance sticks from China, masks and dolls from Africa and dreaming painting from Australia. Some of the pieces will be used in musical numbers at the camp performance.
