SUMMER CAMP SPOTLIGHT: ELEMENTARY ART CAMP
The summer of 2017 will offer a variety of activities and media, using some warm-ups and creative exercises to help stimulate personal expression and develop technique. Drawing, painting, sculpture and three dimensional activities will be included, as well as a collaborative team-building project.
The focus will be on both process and product, encouraging independent work and problem-solving, and celebrating the discoveries that result from "happy accidents" in art. Sharing ideas and enjoying a creative experience with peers is part of the fun.
Dates: June 26-30
Time: 10:00-3:00pm
Ages: Rising 1st through 6th grade
Price: $300.00
