About Art inside Out: New this summer is Marieke's Art Inside Out! Campers explore their creative side with some fun, alternative art projects. While creating works of art, all campers are surrounded by inspiration, and are constantly collecting natural and recyclable resources for each of their projects. The goals for Art Inside Out are to allow campers to see, explore and appreciate the outdoors. Give campers the opportunity to express themselves, and their understanding of the world. Use primarily (if not exclusively) natural & recycled materials as the medium for that expression (making our art a No/Low Impact activity). Daily projects each day including daily journals (Journals to be low keyÉ doodle, scribble, write, fold, play.. go back to front, upside down -nothing school like), journals are for explorationÉ not judged. One day each week is dedicated to a large community project. We will end the summer with an Art show of the campers work & invite campers, their parents and their relatives!
