Expressing Ourselves with the Earth in Mind

Campers will use art as a means of expression with the earth in mind; building with recycled materials and nature finds like lichen, seaweed, seashells and petals.

Some of the projects will include: Jackson Pollock inspired Splatter Painting with Recycled House Paint, making paper machẽ masks that explore identity with recycled materials, and creating mixed media paintings infused with materials from nature.

Please bring a brown bag lunch. Complimentary snacks will be provided by SebArts, 12pm-1pm on each day.
