Bowen camp teaches kids elements of art
By Jessica Brown

Kids got their creative juices
flowing at a recent summer art
camp at the Bowen Center for the
Arts in Dawsonville.
The camp was hosted June 19
through June 22, and Jennifer
Gray, art teacher at Dawson
County High School, taught the
camp for her third year in a row
and focused on making lessons
on the elements of art fun. The
camp was open to participants
aged six to 11.
Participants worked with
watercolors, tempura paint, foils,
rocks and weavings during the
weeklong camp.
But the biggest thing they
learned at the camp was the dif
ference between warm and cool
colors.
“They understand the warm
versus cool. I feel like that’s
almost the major theme. Almost
every artwork is warm colors,
cool colors,” Gray said. “They
get so excited about knowing the
difference. They know their pri
mary and secondary (colors)
now.”
On the first day, the students
learned how to mix those second
ary colors - creating oranges,
purples and greens.
“Some of them are even using
the term ‘tertiary’ now. I think
even our four-year-old said ‘ter
tiary’ today, which was awesome
and it was actually tertiary. It was
a blue-green,” Gray said, laugh
ing.
Gray said she loves teaching
the kids about the elements of art
because it gives them a good
foundation to build on for future
art classes. Similar to lessons that
she teaches her high school stu
dents, students in the camp
learned about textures, patterns,
movement, shapes, colors, tones
and more throughout the week,
which all were combined into
one big final project on the last
day of camp.
“It’s funny. Its high school
knowledge but they’re young
enough they get it young,” Gray
said. “Give them a bit of informa
tion then they’ll bring it and
they’ll completely manipulate it
to their own way.”
