Week 2: June 24-26
Morning 10am-12pm: Neon & Glow- This is your chance to shine bright. Create with vibrant neon colors, and pigments that glow in the dark. Create a painting that reveals a hidden moon when the lights are out, art that looks like a neon sign, and lots of time to experiment with these “bright” supplies.
Afternoon 1-3pm: Cardboard Sculptures- Bring your boldest ideas to life. Create with cardboard. Work with your teacher to determine how to turn your ideas into a pattern that you can cut out and assemble. Make a game, an animal, or a 3D work of art.
