2017 2017 Art and Mandarin Summer Camp for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade AAS Art and Mandarin Summer Camp is designed for children entering kindergarten through 5th grade. We teach art with the intention of ultimately bringing the students to a professional level. We also work to maintain or improve the students language skills in Mandarin and enhance their knowledge of Chinese culture through age-appropriate play-based classes and activities. In summer 2017, Asian Arts School celebrates its eighth year of partnership with the Confucius Institute at San Francisco State University. Mandarin teachers selected from the institute will join our dynamic summer camp staff and use their expertise to teach speaking, reading and writing in Mandarin. Throughout the weeks, special guests such as dancing, drama, martial arts experts and award-winning young artists will be invited to intensify the camp experience and inspire our students. The camp consists of 10 one-week sessions that begin May 30th and end August 4th The basic program is from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm with extended-care options that run from 7:30 to 8:30 am and from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. Our summer camp students will have very full days: The students will draw and paint, practice reading and writing Chinese, sing Mandarin songs and learn folk dances. Furthermore, students who have advanced skills in art or Mandarin will be eligible for supplemental instruction according to their levels of proficiency. During our late afternoon sessions, students will have the option to continue with the Afternoon Education Rainbow Program here at the school or to practice Kung Fu with martial arts master Leo Wang of Panda Kungfu on Judah Street.
