This camp offers the opportunity to take your favorite piece of art that exists and use it as a springboard to create something new! If your favorite artwork is The Golden Gate Bridge, the Mona Lisa, a song by your favorite artist, or a book series that you love, we will use it as inspiration to create a new piece in a different medium! We could turn a comic book into a musical, a favorite building into a lit-up sculpture, a song into a painting, or a book into a dance. Movement, art, and drama will all be utilized to learn about your favorite art, get ideas, and interact with each other. This space can be used to share your favorite things and take a deeper dive into the things that you love! At the end, you will have a unique piece of art that echoes something that makes you happy AND get to share ideas with others who are just as inspired by art as you!
