Everyday Is Art: Making Meaning from Real Life June15-18 (4-days) Barbara Schlegel In this thoughtful art camp, children discover that art doesn’t have to be about faraway places or famous subjects; it can come from everyday life. Campers explore how artists find inspiration in ordinary moments, familiar spaces, and objects they care about, learning that their own experiences are meaningful and worth making art about. Throughout the week, children will work with a variety of art materials, including watercolor, drawing, mixed media, clay, and ink blocking, while learning how different media can express mood, memory, and personal meaning. Projects emphasize noticing details, making choices, and developing confidence in one’s own ideas. The week concludes with a gallery-style exhibition celebrating artwork inspired by real life — inviting families to see how ordinary moments became thoughtful, expressive works of art.
