I cannot believe that tomorrow marks the first of July, and that we are almost halfway through "Summer Art Camp" at the Art Association. It seems like yesterday we were opening our doors to welcome the first session, and now more than 100 creative, enthusiastic and energetic campers have come through, making some of the most innovative and imaginative projects the studio has seen.
This summer, the SAA offered twelve sessions of camp in both half-and-full-day camps for pre-K (4 & 5) through 5th grade, along with specialized classes for grades 6 through 8th. Each week was a different theme; the pre-K Mini Monets looked to the land, sky and sea for their inspiration in "Looking Up, Looking Down"; the first week of Wee Warhols (K-2) experimented with all sorts of ooey and gooey projects in "Let's Make a Mess," and this week, our second group of Wee Warhols are learning about the different traditions and customs around the world in "Create 'Celebrate!'"
It's been an incredible summer already. With a talented and art-loving camp staff, assistants and most importantly--our campers!, the rest of the summer will surely be the same.
Although many of our sessions have already filled, there are still plenty of opportunities to have art make its way onto your summer calendar! Visit www.springfieldart.org to check out our Summer Schedule of Classes that begin next week! Registrations will be taken over the phone, in person or by e-mail through Friday.
