Artistic Explorations Club at Challenger Middle School
This camp is open to all enrolled students who just completed 7th or 8th grade at a San Diego Unified School District school. A valid student ID number is required for final enrollment.
Artistic Explorations club is back for our second year at Challenger MS!
Every class will bring engaging art projects inspired by majestic places, nature, history, and cultures from around the world. Learn about architecture and history of piracy, properties of light and how they’re used to build your own kaleidoscope, and much more! Every student will complete one project a day. Our artistic "menu" includes designing and building your very own log birdhouse; kaleidoscope; treasure box; mosaic mirror; a set of multi-media artworks, involving watercolor and a challenging printing technique. Travel though art, work alongside practicing artists, create and explore new skills!
This is an advanced program, where students will be working with scissors, exacto knives, wood, paint, glass, mosaic tools and equipment in a structured, safety - conscious environment. While all students are welcome to sign up, please note that the activities require fine motor skills, close attention to details and ability to follow directions. If you are unsure in your student's ability to safely and comfortably engage in this type of detailed handiwork, please contact us in advance so we can help determine whether this camp will be a good fit or discuss possible accommodations.
This camp is a collaboration of VAPA Foundation, Rainforest Art Project, and SDUSD.
