**IMPORTANT UPDATE** With a very heavy heart we have made the decision to remain closed for summer (July and August) This is for the safety of our community, families, students and staff as there are many Health and Safety regulations put in place and for a school like ours this would seem almost impossible to make work. This will be the first summer in 8 years that we do not have camps running and we are all feeling the sadness of this.. however we know it's the best call a...s everything we do in our summer program is hands on, social interacting, activity group work and the list goes on. We value everyone's safety and well being and know that although this is a hard choice it is for the best. We are scheduled to be open to our students for September Weekly Art classes going forward and cannot wait to be back! Weekly art classes will be much more easy to implement as our class sizes are smaller, students have their own art kits and classes are more serious structured making for own personal space at tables. We appreciate each and every one of you for all your support and kind words and look forward to September making for many new wonderful art memories! We will be putting together "ALL" weekly art class students artwork and scheduling pickup dates/times for students/classes that will be posted over the next 2 weeks. Along with this will also be credit vouchers sent out to our weekly art class students for the unfinished art term of Winter/Spring 2020. Please be patient with us at this time! 2020 Fall/Winter Weekly Art Classes will be up and posted August and registration will open! Stay tuned All class information will be found on our website or Facebook page. Wishing you all a wonderful summer, stay safe and keep smiling!! Power of Positivity always! Small Businesses Matter!

Important Summer Art Camp 2020 Update We are currently in the process of weighing out all the health and safety measures to see if this new guideline list can be put into place at our wonderful Bradford Art School studio that we are all missing so much. Our main concern is the safety and health of every student, family and staff in our facility also keeping in mind everyone's mental well being. Some new restrictions that would be mandatory for Camp are PPE, daily health scre...ening with recorded data, screening of all student entry at front entrance, no outside public entry, drop off pickup at front entrance only, reminded student social distancing ( 6 feet at all times) , no shared play time or grouping, strict supply use with no shared tools and new cleaning rule guidelines at all times. This seems very overwhelming as our day to day summer camps in the past 8 years were filled with 25 fulltime campers, sharing, caring, smiling, playing, creating, group working and making for many new friends creating summer camp memories that last a lifetime! Health and Safety guidelines for Covid -19 states our new head count would consist of maximum 10 people at all times in the studio. This would include the staff and students making for very challenging times for a business like ours where we strive on our wonderful summer programs being filled and welcoming all and everyone with hands on interaction through the wonderful world of art. Currently at this time we are still taking registration and holding spots for summer camps which are scheduled to start the week of July 6th on wards however with a heavy heart we are also looking at the reality of how these new guidelines that are put into place would look and how it would work for our 8 week summer program to continue forward. Every decision made is for the health and mental well being always. Unfortunately we do have to decide if it would make sense to remain open for the summer or to proceed forward and make a very sad choice to cancel all summer programs and close until September 2020 for our new term of Fall/ Winter weekly art classes. Fall/Winter 2020 Weekly Art Classes will be posted shortly for our upcoming term in September! Registration will resume by phone or email at this time.

"Week Six Art Activity" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Technique "Abstract Artastic" Tools needed:... - Stretch back canvas (use size as desired) - acrylic paint - paint brushes flat head - paper or styrofoam plates - paper towel - water bowl - green painters tape thin - table cloth - disposable recommended **TIPS** Ages All & Everyone Acrylic paints are a wonderful paint to use where mistakes can easily be perfected. Paints can be used on canvas, wood, clothing or any heavy weight paper. Acrylic paints are permanent and can be repainted over and over again building layers. This is called "Colour buildup" Colours build and become stronger as they are used, this also allows for perfection to be made. Acrylic paint does dry very quickly. Acrylic paints and water do not mix well as the water can thin out the paint making it watery. Water should only be used as needed to rinse or thin as needed. Colour tip Techniques: White lightens any colour Yellow brightens any colour Brown tones down any colour Black added just makes black. Embrace line, shape and colour through the world of Abstract.
