In this special camp, we'll be exploring Recycled Art and Junk Journaling with Natalie in the mornings, and paper mache in the afternoons with Megan!
Mornings: Recycled Art and Junk Journaling
Recycled art and junk journaling is a camp to teach that you can make art from anything! The artists will learn to repurpose items that would often be thrown away, and turn them into art. They will also learn that journaling can be for everyone. You don’t need fancy papers and stickers or writing skills to have a journal - you can fill it with junk! We will experiment with zines, recycled paper flowers, collaging, diy stickers, and basic book binding to create a journal.
Afternoons: Paper Mache Flower Garden
Together we’ll transform everyday materials like cardboard, newspaper and glue into a flower garden! Campers will find flower inspiration from artists today and throughout art history. Come play with everyday materials, bold shapes, expressive textures and vibrant colors. Leave with your own original paper mache flower sculptures!
