About This Activity
Period C: Watercolor, Ink and Acrylic Painting Young artists! Explore these different forms of painting– from delicate watercolor painting, to bold acrylic techniques, and ink bleed art. Long-time Athenian After School Instructor Kristen will teach different fun painting skills for each medium, helping young artists elevate their abilities and take pride in their works of art. All materials are provided and no prior experience necessary. We are delighted for Kristen Calderon to return to Athenian Summer Programs and share her talents as both an artist and caring teacher. Period D: Improv and Dramatic Interpretation Performance Improv is a great way to practice public speaking while building confidence in yourself and your presence. Improv teaches you how to create stories and scenes and perform them without a script. In this class, you will have fun getting creative and getting comfortable being yourself while speaking in front of others. You will learn the fundamentals of storytelling and how to keep an audience engaged in your performance and story. And we'll do all of this in a safe, fun and team oriented environment. In this class we’ll also work on Dramatic Interpretation pieces, which are short pieces taking from plays, short stories or other works that spotlight your ability to convey emotion through the text. We’ll practice our acting skills and gain confidence through Dramatic Interpretation, which is an common area to compete in Speech and Debate tournaments as well. Instructor Dontae Hill aka “The Forensics Guy” has been involved in Speech and Debate for over a decade. The Forensics Guy has dedicated his life to the activity and found a variety of ways to live out his mantra of making sure that every student has the opportunity to be impacted by Forensics.
