About This Activity
Embark on a global journey with Emma Schreiber in “Art Across Cultures,” a vibrant summer camp that celebrates the rich tapestry of the world’s traditions through art and storytelling. Emma introduces young campers to the colorful festivities of Indian and Chinese New Year celebrations, using children’s literature like Take Me to Laolao by Kelly Zhang and The Light Within You by Namita Mehra as gateways to these vibrant cultures. Each session begins with an engaging discussion about what culture means, encouraging students to explore and share their own cultural backgrounds. Following the story time, campers will dive into themed crafts that reflect the traditions and symbols discussed in the books, further enhancing their understanding and appreciation of each culture. If time permits, Emma encourages students to channel their newfound inspirations into writing their own stories, capturing their interpretations and reflections on the cultural elements they’ve explored. This camp not only fosters artistic skills but also cultivates empathy and global awareness, providing a space where young minds can learn, create, and appreciate the diversity of the world around them. Join Emma for a summer of learning, creativity, and cultural exploration in “Art Across Cultures.”
