What does home mean? In today’s world we have had to return home to work and live and go to school, and many families have combined their homes to be our workplace and school. How can we use ideas of home in the Berkshires as a springboard for our broader ideas of home for immigrants, People of color, and our community as a whole?
We will be using visual research techniques to explore home, and local online gallery resources to help guide our campers to visually define what their home means to them! We will use collage, leverage our phones to take photos, and use memorabilia to create meaningful art about HOME. This camp will also advocate for arts and movement by taking walks and documenting family or home time.
Suggested Materials
a device to take photos and acess the internet (ipad or tablet, phone or computer)
common household items such as: recycling materials, toilet paper tubes, magazines, newspapers, cereal boxes, etc (whatever you have available is fine! Please feel free to start collecting items upon registration!)
paper of some kind
pencil
scissors
glue (mod podge preferred, but any glue will do!)
paint brushes (for the glue)

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
Tuition
To make these classes as accessible as possible to everyone, we are offering each class with the option to select how much you want to pay. No matter which option you choose, you'll join the same class as everyone else. We trust that you will support IS183 with whatever you can afford, and encourage you to support the school with an additional donation during this challenging time, if possible.
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
