Each morning & afternoon, a couple of hours will be spent on art then during breaks you’ll go to the wading pool, playground or pizza oven. Over the 5 days, you will draw, paint and collage to complete your sculpture / wearable creations. On Friday you’ll invite your parents to see an outdoor display of your creations.
