Exploring Art

















































































































This past week we had a preschool art camp: Exploring Art and Super Sculptor for elementary age artists. Each day preschoolers had an art theme: lines, colors, textures, etc that they explored with a variety of 3d and 2d materials. Campers in the Super Sculpture Camp used clay, wire, paper mache, Styrofoam, pipe cleaners and recycled materials to create works of art in the round. Take a look at all the fun!

I am a little behind on my summer blog updates! Summer has been flying by because camps have been so busy with art excitement! There are so many amazing opportunities at the Center for the Arts, it makes me want to be a kid again. Here are images from two middle school camps: Papermaking with Jeannette Elliot and Digital Photography with me.
