Summer Camp Week 4: Explore Self Identity Through Art

Explore Self Identity Through Art

Ages 10-12 

Students will make an array of art inspired by exhibitions on display at MAM. They will be provoked to see and understand the world around them with their creative lenses by exploring art techniques such as sketching, coloring, word illustration, composition. At the end of the week, they will reflect on their learning by creating an original self-portrait using the skills and concepts that were explored during their time together.
