ARS SUMMER ARTS CAMP: POLYNESIA
ARS SUMMER CAMP, now in its 13th year, is not just about learning a technique or being shown how to assemble parts from a pre-packaged kit. Through the guidance of our talented teaching artists, students will be using a wide variety of resources and real art supplies to develop artistic skills, critical thinking, and visual problem-solving.
That's because ARS camp starts with raw materials, gets messy, and offers students the unlimited freedom to create art that is uniquely individual and personal, all while having fun!
