How can the art you make, make a difference? This camp will look at ways we can create dynamic and vibrant art from naturally found materials. Campers will make their own paint after isolating pigments from natural materials and make their own unique paper from recycled materials. They will look at tide pools and how they change, then practice plein air painting using paint they created. Their artwork will be included in the Plein Air festival at OMA in July.
