Julie Smith

Class Description:
Young artists will spend the day with Julie transforming everyday recycled materials into imaginative works of art in this playful, process-focused camp. Students will build, paint, cut, and glue while exploring texture, shape, and color. Projects encourage creativity, fine-motor development, and confidence in making choices. Campers will also learn simple ideas about reuse and caring for our planet. Throughout the day, students will break for outdoor and social time. This camp is all about joyful exploration and big ideas in small hands.

All projects are specifically designed to accommodate students of all skill levels and can be adjusted accordingly to meet each student's specific needs. No prior art experience is needed.
