Living Arts of Tulsa, with help from the George Kaiser Family Foundation, offers the New Arts Camp for students going into the 4th through 12th grades. The Camp will offer four different activity areas providing an equal balance between imagination and technique development. The areas this year are: Video, Performance Art, New Music and Sculpture. The New Arts Camp focuses on research and creation of interdisciplinary art works which utilize all of these four areas. There will be a New Arts Talk given daily which will focus on artists from Marcel Duchamp to those currently working in interdisciplinary art forms. Integration of all four activity areas will be explored and a final presentation by participants will be held at the end of the session. We have hired the finest artists in Tulsa-plus, several guest artists will make appearances throughout the session. Students bring their own lunches.

AREA DESCRIPTIONS:

Video:
Students will learn the basics of video-camcorder anatomy, story boarding, idea development, lighting, sound, and editing. Whether the student ends up using projectors and television sets, the main emphasis of this portion of the New Arts Camp will be to use video in ways which connect with other art forms like sculpture, performance or music.

Sculpture:
Students work with a variety of visual materials to create 3-dimensional sculptural artworks. This may include installation artworks, kinetic sculpture, funkiture, or other sculpture that connects with other art forms like video, performance, or new music.

Performance:
In this class, students will be given the opportunity to learn how their bodies, words, and movements can be used as elements of an artwork.
Emphasis will be on taking personal expressions to a new poetic level.
Performances may connect with other art forms such as video, sculptural, or music art forms as well.

New Music:
This is a class in the creation of new compositions utilizing a variety of instruments which the students create and play. Hand drumming techniques will also be taught as well as different ways of composing which may connect with other elements such as video, sculpture, and performance art.

New Arts Talks:
Each day students will learn about those artists of today who are making interdisciplinary artworks that combine the elements that they are studying. Artists such as:  John Cage, Laurie Anderson, Bill Viola, Nam Jun Paik are presented in video presentations, demonstrations, and slide discussions to help students learn about the artists making a difference in the art world of today.
