Medium Magic!

9am-12pm

Kids love to touch and manipulate, without the need for a specific outcome. Watch what your child will do with opportunity and spontaneity, and build his/her fine motor skills in the process using colored pencils, makers, tempera paint, watercolor, pastels, paper, fabric and other materials. By taking time to learn through creation and experimentation children discover a variety of materials and techniques to express themselves. At the end of the week students will select a favorite material to create their final masterpiece.

July 13–17

Bookmaking: This is My Story

9am-12pm

Let your child be the focus of their own storybook. Using their own lives as inspiration, children will create a book about themselves, as well as people, places, and experiences that are important to them. Each page of the storybook will explore a new artistic material. Campers will use colored pencils, markers, tempera paint, watercolor, pastels, fabric and other materials to construct each page of their book. Papermaking skills will be taught and used to create the cover of their personal storybook. The final product will be a book that you and your child will treasure for years to come.
