Virtual Summer Camps-here is how they work:
• Teens, school age and pre-schoolers receive their own personal box of art materials from ArtStart needed to complete the classes including basic materials plus specialty materials.
• Instruction for art projects is offered daily by professional artists in a live, interactive format, as well as recorded and archived to be accessed at a later date for those who need to miss a class. In addition, artists are available to chat with participants outside of class scheduled at specific times during the week.
Ecuador JULY 6-17, 2020
Journey to Ecuador, a country straddling the equator on South America’s west coast. Its diverse landscape encompasses Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. You learn about the three distinct ecosystems and the wildlife that inhabit them. In the afternoon you shift your emphasis from nature to learn about community life and how customs and traditions of the ancient Incas, the indigenous people of Ecuador, live on through art, music and dance.
Peru JULY 20-31, 2020
Head south to Peru, a country that borders Ecuador. Here you visit the Andes, one of the highest mountain ranges in the world running the length of Peru. The valleys and mountains for the Andes are home to the ancient culture of the Incas and their modern day relatives, the Quechua, or “the people”. Working with artists, you learn about the Inca way of life and how the Spanish influenced the art and culture of the indigenous people of Peru. Each day you create art work inspired by the land and animals, the people and culture.
