Art Camp 2023 Week 2 at NCA

June 12, 2023 - June 16, 2023

Week 2 of art camp was fantastic! We learned about Picasso, Haring, Kandinsky, Rembrandt, and Brugegel. The camp lasted 5 days and each day we learned about a specific artist. Then we created 3 projects that corresponded back to the highlighted artist and their artwork that we learned about. Most of the time the kids had the opportunity to really make the artwork their own which resulted in some pretty cool variations of the projects. Keep scrolling for more info and pictures.
