Canvass holiday camp offers a holistic experience with the following core activities that will entice your child’s learning interest and cultivate intrinsic values.
The holiday camp topics include:
- Yoga
Canvass yoga for children is a create and move mindful practice through body and mind that connects and deepens understanding of the authentic self. Children will gather, grow and learn together to be confident,balanced and grounded. The power of creativity through imagination will be demonstrated and guided to encourage learning possibilities and to communicate thoughts and experiences. Exploring shapes and lines in a yoga pose brings engagement to the right muscles, aligns body posture, release tension in stiff areas, find balance by distributing weight and control. These activities can be transformational and restorative for the children’s well being. They will feel peaceful and positively charged.
- Art
Express yourself and create a colourful painting in your own unique style! Practical painting techniques will be imparted from basics to the more advanced. This includes painting natural landscapes such as beaches, skies to waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and of course everyday subjects around. Students will learn how to see like an artist, understand the origins, observe the relationships between colours, value, shape and texture.
- Meditation and Reflection
Meditation and Reflection can be defined as paying attention to the present moment experiences with openness, curiosity and a willingness to be with what is. It is a practical and simple way to stay happy and balanced. It invites us to stop, breath, observe, and connect with one’s inner experience. Attention, Balance and Intuition are guided with the use of the various senses like sounds, music, aroma and imagination. It is a process-oriented approach that strengthens and supports communication and appreciation that your child can learn to integrate into their everyday routines.
- Portfolio Building
The most valuable tool for attaining confidence in the art industry is an artist’s portfolio. Strong evidence of developmental work is necessary to secure a place in an international baccalaureate programme or just to showcase your creative self and articulate it through various expressions.
The art works produced in this camp can be included in a building portfolio for an art academic course. The observation, conceptualization and developmental studies effectively help present works that reflect an understanding of formal elements in visual art and articulating their ideas into form.
- Daily Cook-Out Lunch
Canvass Cook-Outs are all about being creative with food, colours and textures! The children learn organization skills, hygiene, cooking instructions and methods to clean, clear, assemble and decorate their food. The nutritional values of the ingredients are imparted and shared as they touch, taste, explore and experiment. Working with food gives children a challenge to create and eat – a terrific way of understanding the food they eat, a little more consciously and thoughtfully.
