Week 3: Aquatic Adventures

Description

Dive into an immersive week of aquatic-inspired art! As our camp takes place along the bank of the Delaware River, young artists will explore the mysterious and beautiful world beneath the water through a variety of exciting projects and techniques. Drawing inspiration from master artists who have captured the magic of oceans and rivers—from Hokusai's dynamic waves to Chihuly's glass marine forms—students will create their own underwater masterpieces. Throughout the week, children will experiment with diverse artistic methods including sculpture, printmaking, painting, and light art. They'll discover how different artists interpret marine life, from scientific illustration to abstract interpretation. Projects range from illuminated jellyfish sculptures to printed wave patterns, combining traditional techniques with contemporary materials. Each day brings new adventures in art-making as students learn about aquatic life while developing their creative skills. They'll explore texture, transparency, movement, and color through hands-on projects that bring the ocean's wonders to life. From the depths of the sea to the curl of a wave, young artists will gain appreciation for aquatic ecosystems while building fundamental art techniques. Perfect for young explorers, budding biologists, and creative spirits who dream of all kinds of adventures!
