In the morning from August 6-10, your child (ages 6-10) can Explore the World through Art! Enjoy this journey circling the globe in just one week with an art project for each continent including Asian brush paintings, totem poles, African masks, South American rain sticks, and paintings like the Aborigines of Australia.
In the afternoons during that same week, check out Visual Art & Children's Literature, in which students will create works of art based on children's books! The Hungry Caterpillar, The Runaway Bunny, and others will be featured, and campers will create collages, watercolor illustrations, papier mache, and more.
