Programs for Camps

Tours and Workshops July–August 2010 Tuesdays–Fridays between 10:45 am and 3:00 pm Summer camp and youth groups explore themes related to current exhibitions and objects in the museum’s collection through interactive tours and workshops. All activities are appropriate for K–12 students. Learn to Look Campers will work together to explore works of folk art through careful looking and group discussion. People and Places Campers will view and discuss different figures and settings that folk artists depict in their work. Artists’ Materials Campers will discover folk artists’ inventive use of traditional and unconventional materials in the creation of their works, from paint and textiles to found objects, such as yarn, branches, and tine cans. |
