Campers will focus on different artistic interpretations of marine plants, animals and habitats. Each day campers will explore local habitats to garner inspiration and then spend time in the art studio creating their own masterpieces. Guest artists will instruct students in different mediums and share how their own work inspires others to appreciate and protect the marine environment. Students will display their work on the final day in our ArtSea Gallery show.
Activities include:
- Field excursions to beach, marsh, maritime forest and barrier island; microscopic study and scientific illustration of phytoplankton; field observation and sketching of marine wildlife; watercolor painting of coastal landscapes; shell, beach glass and fossil collecting for jewelry; graphic block printing, sand casting, wood carving, metal sculpting and more…
Highlights include:
- Meet local artists; explore a variety of marine habitats on foot and by kayak; create environmentally inspired art for your portfolio using different mediums; participate in a gallery showing.
