ARTSCOOL
The Art Starts Here! ArtsCool Art combines art making with art thinking. Through “Visual Thinking Strategies” ArtsCool shows kids how to analyze, think about and discuss the works of artists and their own work. Different themes each week will introduce children to various artists as well as exploring different techniques of art. Based on our discussions, and the child’s own expressions, they will create unique pieces of art throughout the week. We will have an Art Show at the end of each camp week to display the camper’s work.

We will interact and be inspired by the outside gardens and environment.
