Week four of ArtCamp had the students immersed in Mario Sanchez's 1930s street scenes and characters. They recreated a carved relief panel, and made their own unique characters with recycled materials. The young artists also took a look at coral reefs, and made their own mermaids garden. The field trip was to the Haitian Art Gallery!

ArtCamp Summer 2008 - Week Three

The 3rd week of ARTCAMP-ers studied Stanley Papio's Pop Art--and just like the junkyard sculptor used recycled and found objects for their creations. This group of 7 and 8 year olds also did Seascape Gyotuka (Japanese for fish print) and made festive 4th of July hats. They will wrap up their fun-filled and creative week with a trip on the Discovery Glass Bottom Boat.
A big thank you to this weeks sponsor: Ricky's Blue Heaven.

The second week called Flights of Fancy had an enthusiastic group of 6 and 7 year olds, who became well versed in the art of kite-making, pirate puppetry, and sand castle sculpture. They also studied the works of Mario Sanchez with emphasis on clouds.
This week’s generous sponsor is the Cultural Preservation Society.
