At the end of the 2week session, parents, etc. are invited to a "reception" and awards to view their child's work. This is a big moment for the children and we encourage your attendance.

Students will explore printing methods with various gadgets and raised cardboard and tye-dye art. Paper projects will include marbling , paper mache masks, and using crepe paper in mixed media projects. Beautiful mosaic treasure boxes will be constructed using stones and old jewelry. Techniques of sponging, brush techniques and various media exploration will be used on keepsakes that will always bring back fond memories of this summer art experience.
