Welcome Coyotes!


This is the place to find out about the art world in and around Fort Worth especially for the parents, students and friends of Carlson. I will also post links for contests, exhibits, classes and things that might be of interest to art students and their families.

I am always collecting ideas for projects that can be done at home, whether they be art experiences or craft ideas. Because the structure of our school day doesn't allow for as much in depth work as I would enjoy...or the students would enjoy, for that matter...I hope you will try some of the cool ideas I have found. Also, if YOU have cool ideas that you think other students would be interested in, please feel free to send them to me to post here.

Miss Hannah always has lots of fun planned for summer campers at her studio. These classes are designed for students who need to know "how" to make something wonderful. At the end of the session, your camper will come home with some clever and attractive art projects. Everyone has successful projects, as the activities are very teacher directed and thematic.

TCU Art Adventures

Grades 1 - 4 Session Two June 21 - 25th (9 - 4)
Grades 5 - 8 Session Three June 28 - July 2 (9 - 4)
$275.00 (includes $65 material fee)

Campers learn the fundamental principles necessary to create original art in various media: clay, collage, painting, printmaking and sculpture. These classes are taught by area art teachers as well as grad students and current TCU art students. I call this the granddaddy of art camps simply because you have access to the best art supplies and state-of-the art facilities at TCU. It is more expensive than the other art camps because of this and also because it is a full day program. It is quite intensive and not for the tentative student. The kids who seem to enjoy this camp the most are the ones who can't get enough art in their day and are thoroughly entertained by the act of creation. So if your child just can't stop the doodling...this might be the camp for him! The end of the week culminates in a gallery show on campus, which is a very neat opportunity for your student to showcase his or her work.
