Sidewalk Chalk 5 Day Art Camp

Discover the magic of chalk while learning invaluable art skills in this 5-day Sidewalk Chalk Camp.

This is the perfect class to start you on your art journey with color theory/drawing skills that can be used with any type of medium.

-Day 1: Dive into color theory as we learn how the primary colors work together to create a color wheel, enjoy the beauty of blending, and experiment mixing a variety of color temperatures as we master the techniques of applying chalk to concrete.

-Day 2: Work together as a group to create a beautiful masterpiece. Using what was learned in Day 1, we’ll make a large mosaic, with each participant adding to the uniqueness of the piece.

-Day 3: Discover foundational tools to draw freehand including identifying shapes, proportions, and use of space to construct a loose sketch. Work with the instructor to plan the final image.

-Day 4: Using a chalk line, we will create and practice using a grid to obtain a more precise image. Online sources for grid creation will be provided as well for at-home grid use.

-Day 5: Each participant will have an area of 2’x3’ that they will use for their own previously planned design and will have help and direction from the instructor as they work on the final project.

-Price of class is $90 per participant. All art supplies are included. At the end of the class, you will be able to bring home your own supplies to continue your sidewalk chalk journey including a 48-piece Crayola chalk set, a 48-piece set of soft pastels (high pigmented chalks), gloves to protect your hands, and a roll of tape to make your own mosaics or clean edged art pieces at home. Wear clothes that can get dirty.

-This class best serves adults and children 10+ and class is limited to 10 participants.

-This class will be held on Wednesday, September 16th – 19th, @ 5:30-6:30 pm and September 20th from 5-7 pm, at The Local Artisan Collective located at 2371 Kiesel Ave., Ogden. Instruction will be held outdoors. Please check in at the desk to be directed.

-Class is taught by Jamie Vandenberg, a self-taught sidewalk chalk artist who has been creating chalk art for over 10 years. Jamie started competing in sidewalk chalk competitions 6 years ago. The skills she has obtained from chalk over the years have helped her work in other mediums including charcoal, watercolor, pastels, markers, and colored pencil, and she continues to explore and learn new art mediums. She has found joy through being creative and loves to pass that joy on to others.
