Eco Explorers: Art from Recycled Treasures: Ages 5-8

About this class

Course Description Join us on an artistic adventure where creativity meets sustainability! In Eco Explorers, your young artist will discover how to turn everyday recycled materials into amazing works of art. From bottle caps to cardboard, students learn how to see the potential in what others might throw away, transforming these items into unique sculptures, collages, and mixed media masterpieces. This camp is all about being creative while caring for the planet, showing that art can be both fun and eco-friendly. By the end of the week, campers will have created a collection of upcycled art pieces that show how easy it is to turn trash into treasure! IMPORTANT: $40 Materials Kit: Students should purchase the relevant Materials Kit with enrollment of this course which provides students with course materials required for participation.
