Unlock Your Child’s Inner Artist at Art Camp

Remember when summers were long stretches of unscheduled time? What better use of that time than to explore your creativity!

Children rising into 3rd-8th grade can join museum educator and artist Jennifer White for this summer’s Art Camp and spend some time learning from professional artists and playing creatively in several different mediums.

Each day we visit with a different artist, either at their studio space or at the museum, to learn about their work.  The students get to see the artists artwork, learn how they do what they do, and ask questions.  When we return to the museum center, students spend the afternoon creating a work of art using the skills and techniques they’ve studied at the studio.  Past artists and projects have included Josh Coleman’s sculpture studio at The Old Woolen Mill, potter Michael Lalone and the Lee University pottery studio, architect Doug Caywood and the historic buildings of downtown Cleveland and more.

Camp will be held in two sessions this year: rising middle-schoolers (6, 7, 8th grade) June 27 – 30, 2011 and rising 3, 4, 5th grades July 11-14.  Students arrive at 8am and stay until 3pm, bringing a bag lunch for mid-day.  Snack is provided mid-morning.

Cost is $100/session for museum center members, $125/session for non-members. Registration forms are available on the museum center website. Deadline for registrations is June 10. Register early; space is limited to 20 students per session.

Questions can be directed to museum educator Jennifer White at 423-339-5745 ext. 18 or by email at education@museumcenter.org.
