Join us this week as we focus in on scale and balance! Often used by artists to effect viewer perception, these two principles of design lend themselves to experimentation and manipulation. Scale, ranging from the miniature to the monumental, will be explored through the works of the surrealists, monumental sculptors such as Claes Oldenburg and Niki de Saint Phalle, and the miniature worlds of doll houses and collector's shelves. Our balance project will be sculptural and require quick thinking and the willingness to experiment!

Join us for our final week of Fun with Fundamentals as we explore pattern and emphasis, two principles of design that both guide and thrill the viewer's eye! Campers will take inspiration from the repeated motifs of traditional cultures the world over, as well as the quilters of Gee's Bend, Anni Albers, Gustav Klimt, and Yayoi Kusama. And no one knows the art of emphasis like the ancients, so campers will also travel back in time this week to Egypt, Greece, and Rome! 

This beginner-friendly junk journal class introduces participants to journaling as a creative, flexible practice using found materials, paper scraps, and ephemera. We’ll explore how a junk journal can be anything you want it to be—messy, meaningful, playful, or reflective. Through guided prompts and hands-on making, participants will work on unleashing their inner voice while creating pages together. The class emphasizes process over perfection and invites shared creativity, conversation, and learning from one another in a supportive environment.
