Family Art Week
August
12 – 18, 2007 (Five Teaching Days) Returning for the 6th year Take a group of families, add practicing artists working in a range of media, and place it all in the midst of Wisconsin’s beautiful Northwoods and you have the ideal setting to foster family togetherness. Family Art Week at Dillman’s Bay Resort in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin is that setting. Family Art Week combines professional-quality art instruction for all ages with the relaxed setting and activities of a traditional summer camp. A typical workshop day begins at 9am and continues until 1pm. After the class vacationers are free to swim, hike, bike, canoe, enjoy a complimentary pontoon ride, and visit local Native American sites. The classes are offered for 5 days, Monday – Friday. Meals are not provided. There is a Sunday 5pm Welcome Reception and a Friday 12:30pm Gala Send Off. In the evening artists are free to use the studios to work on projects, without instruction, which may be shown and viewed at the Gala held on Friday. Family Art Week 2007 includes a choice of one of three workshops for five
half day classes and two receptions. Some supplies are provided.
Some classes have limited enrollment; classes will be filled
CLASS 1
Barb Barlow leads the art team at the James William Jr. High School in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. She has taught art for many years to 6th, 7th and 8th graders as well as younger children through summer school programs. She also leads a very popular after school art club to enthusiastic students. Her class at Dillman’s has met with raves from students and parents alike. The Northwoods Art Studio class will feature multiple projects using the Northwoods as inspiration. One long term project, the clay totem pole, as well as smaller one-day projects such as drawing and watercolor painting, will be pursued. Barb has experience with all ages and will gear instruction according to the age and capability of the student. Students should be thinking about what animals or symbols will represent
them or their families and start collecting pictures of these animals to work
with. Barbara will have all the materials needed for this class.
CLASS 2

She attended Pittsburgh School of the Arts as well as Layton School of the arts and earned her BS and MA from UWM in Art education with an accent on fibers. She has taught K-4 through college level.
