We just finished up our Summer Camp Season with FOUR Fantastic ART CAMPS!
Imagination, Nautical Nonsense, Astound Assemble & Explore, & Nature Abounds were all filled with smiling, creative children who spent a week at our studio exploring their artistic sides.

Week One: Imagination enraptured the students with a journey through developing their own stories. Starting with imagining some fantastical characters, we thought long and hard about where our characters might live and what their stories might be. Through clay, collage, watercolor, story stones, and finally creating a story book cover to cover, the students each imagined their very own illustrated book.

| Jenny's Collaged Illustration for her story and characters |
We even hollowed out some vintage books to create our own altered story books using our imagined characters and stories!

Week Two: Nautical Nonsense brought loads of silly, fun seaside artwork! We scientifically observed some seaside objects in our Oceanic Studies, created 3-D Coral out of polymer clay, and made our own etching paper with some majestic ship etchings! We even made our own Oceanic Bio-Spheres! Our deep-sea adventure was a blast!
In these DEEP SEA marine life collages, we layered our own drawings and cut-out images of what we might find deep under the ocean. We considered the layers of the deep ocean, from the surface down to the black abyss of the bottom of the sea! What creatures did we find? Below are some colorful examples of our underwater explorations!
