It's a week of mixed-media magic for kids age 6 to 9! Teaching artist Dana Weir has created "Gathering the Pieces," an outdoors-and-indoors art camp, Monday, July 29, through Friday, August 2, at Northwind Art School at Fort Worden. All of the info is found at NorthwindArt.org (click on Take a Class).
"This camp will allow students to truly explore and experiment with a wide range of materials and projects. We will paint, draw, and collect materials to develop multi-layered artworks," promises Dana, whom many know from her teaching at Swan School in Port Townsend.
Part of the week will be spent exploring the beaches and forests of the Fort Worden campus to gather natural materials for artistic use. Dana will also provide a treasure trove of small objects and paper pieces, guiding students to consider how fragments connect to the whole. Sessions will go from 10 AM-2 PM for each of the five days, with all supplies are included in the camp fee.
