About
One Big Love Art Camp and Art Classes offers workshops where children spend their time drawing, painting, and sculpting. Each day begins with short warm-up stretches, followed by free sketching and sharing time. The program includes learning about art materials and tools related to each project and ends the week with young artists setting up an art show for parents and guardians.
• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Every Monday starts with an introduction and orientation to the workspace, an overview of the week’s theme, projects, and artist of the week, and an introduction to the art materials and tools; each day includes 2 short breaks and a 45-minute lunch in the garden when weather allows; every Friday ends with learning about presenting art and setting up an art show
One Big Love Art Camp and Art Classes is led by Oakland artist and educator Iranshid Ghadimi. She has been involved in children’s art education for almost twenty years, including work with Oakland Parks and Recreation and Prospect Sierra Elementary School. She attended the Behzad School of Fine Arts from 1975 to 1979, received a Bachelor of Fine Art with a major in painting from San Francisco Art Institute, and earned a Master of Fine Art from Mills College in 2004. The workshops are described as safe and fun and are designed to explore and support the creative voices of young artists through drawing, painting, and sculpting with a variety of materials. One Big Love Studio makes donations to charitable organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, Embracing the World, and Sandy Hook Promise. If there are fewer than 3 registered for a camp, the program may cancel the camp with at least one week’s notice.
