Children will learn about bookmaking and bookbinding. Using pages from the prior printmaking project, or creating new pages with images and symbols, children will create a story to make their own book with recycled and scrap pieces of paper.

Drawing, painting and collage will be some of the different art techniques children will use to create a masterpiece about memory of travels, using a variety of art materials and inspired by the artist Muffy Clark Gill.

Using found objects and fabrics, children will create a small-scale sculpture that represents who they are. Children will visit the museum to learn about the Mexican artist Abraham Cruz Villegas and his artistic process.

Using empty water bottles, feathers, paper and other art materials children will create a puppet with a story to tell! The puppets will be inspired by the imaginative and abstract artist Paul Klee.

Children will learn about bookmaking, storytelling and illustration techniques such as pencil drawing, ink and watercolor through the study of contemporary writer and illustrator of children’s books, Jon J. Muth, during this session.

Transforming any container like milk cartons, coffee cans, paper cup or water bottles, children will make a birdfeeder and they will learn about the importance of birds in the ecosystem, especially during the spring, when natural seed sources are in short supply for birds. They will participate in a celebration in which birdfeeders will be placed into Collins Park’s trees or into their own garden at home.

Exploration of the world of paper, like pop-up sculptures and origami will be presented in this camp session. Children will create their own gigantic sculptures, with the same idea of working with only paper. The origami sculptural pieces of children will be displayed in the Creativity Center, as part of an ongoing student exhibition. Artist Sipho Mabona will be the inspiration for this art project, who believes there are no limits to what can be made with a single sheet of paper.
