This summer at LAB, our students are diving into all things art, and it’s been an absolute blast! We’ve been exploring different artists and styles, mixing in our own creativity to make something truly special. Let’s take you through a day of our “Perfect Portraits” camp—it’s a day your kids won’t stop talking about!
Morning Fun: Realistic Portraits with a Twist
Kicking off the day, our campers got up close and personal with realism. Imagine your little artist learning to create their own take on iconic figures like the Mona Lisa! They worked on capturing some pretty monumental characters, all while having a ton of fun experimenting with details and expressions.
Midday Adventure: Bringing Video Games to Life
After some snacks and a bit of a stretch, it was time to get pixelated! The kids jumped into the world of retro video games, imagining themselves as characters in classics like 8-bit Mario and Pokémon. Armed with only squares and their wild imaginations, they recreated themselves in pixel art. It was a hit—a perfect mix of creativity and gaming fun!
Afternoon Splash: Renaissance Portraits with a Café Vibe
The late afternoon brought a splash of colour as our campers channeled their inner Renaissance artists! But with a cool twist—they painted themselves in a cozy café, serving up bubble tea, coffee, and more. The result? Bright, bold, and totally unique portraits that blended old-school elegance with today’s favorite hangout spots. It’s safe to say the kids were proud of their masterpieces!
Next week (August 19 to 23), we will be focusing on Pop Art! We will be recreating popular art pieces from artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Takashi Murakami, and more! Sign up for our summer camps at any of our three studios: Steveston, Point Grey and Kerrisdale. Age groups 3-5, 6-9 and 10+ years old are welcome to attend!
Can't wait to create with you!
