Split! Splat! Crusty! Crunchy! Texture Camp
9am-12pm; ages 5-8 Teacher: Alysha Campers will transform their artwork through creating implied texture using found tools like sponges, bubble wrap, cardboard, forks, combs, toothbrushes, and the common paintbrush. Campers will explore how different materials react to each other. What happens when salt is used with watercolor? Or Elmer’s glue with watercolor? Do you know what would happen if cling wrap was put on a watercolor as it dries? How do you create physical texture? There are so many experiments to be had… so come jump on in and explore all this camp has to offer. |
