Art 3-D Summer Camp!

 This past week I had the pleasure of teaching a 3-D summer camp! It was a one week, all day camp focused on sculpture. There were 13 students, ranging in age from 13 to 16, and man were they amazing. 

Every morning the students would arrive and immediately get to work on their pieces. They created imaginary/fantastical creatures out of cardboard, explored different possibilities with fierce game of exquisite corpse. 

As the week moved along, they created tunnel books as an ode to their creatures. Each one distinctly the voice of the artist.

The campers also used sculpey clay and found objects to create an assemblage narrative. These were created inside cigar boxes. The students could ebb and flow between the projects as the week progressed. 

These young artists were a joy to spend time with, there was never a dull moment and there was always something new to  discover, either in their ideas or exploring the media.
