Upcycled/Reuse Art or Go Green! June 30-July 3 (no camp July 4th) Angel Jones Don’t toss that trash! This eco-friendly week will focus on creating artwork from items that we normally throw away. Taking a look at the Hermitage Museum’s summer exhibition, Burden of the Beast, campers will learn how contemporary artists reuse and recycle to make extraordinary works of art. We will explore a variety of traditional and non-traditional materials and processes. Campers are asked to bring in at least 5 items from the list below to use or share: lint, yarn, napkins, clothing tags, tape, maps, tissue paper, dried flowers, puzzle pieces, paper bags, lace, wrapping paper, old magazines, paper dolls, paint store swatches, old clock or watch parts, old keys, small old toys, stamps, game pieces, bottle tops, ribbons, newspapers, used postage stamps, food packaging labels, paper bags, take out menus, and cereal boxes.
