Summer Arts Camps for Kids

This summer, I will be teaching arts day camps for 6-12 year olds . . . so I will get my fill of the little guys before going back to hormonal 15 year olds. I'm excited about the classes -- they are all themed, and will run for 2 hours every day for a week. Here are a couple of examples:

Pop Art Party will be a class where all the artwork made will have a party theme and will celebrate the Pop Art movement . . . think Andy Warhol wigs and Keith Haring's dancing dogs!

Diagnosis: Sculpture-itis is all about using everyday objects and transforming them into art. I did this one two summers ago, and had a blast!

These classes will be held at the West Valley Art Museum located in Surprise, Arizona. For more information, visit this site: http://www.wvam.org/youth.html

Pop Art Party will be held at Palm Valley Elementary in Litchfield Park through the West Valley Arts Council.
