ECO ARTISTS | Ages 5-7, 7-9, and 10-14

This camp will explore the creatures of the ocean and give participants a chance to create their own with direction from the Artist Workshop artist teachers. Since only 5% of the ocean has been explored, that leaves a lot to the imagination. Students will gain hands-on experience by examining our local sea creatures up close in their natural habitat and using that knowledge to create beautiful works of art in different elements. $250
