In this exciting two day camp for 4 and 5 year-olds, students will explore texture, color, light, perspective, and composition through the lens of a camera. They will create still life scenes to make images of, as well as explore the grounds of the center with their cameras in tow. Through process, play, and experimentation, each student will create a set of images that tell their own unique visual story. For our first ever camp for 4 and 5 year-olds, Prairie Arts Center is excited to be partnering with OSU's Department of Human Development and Family Science and their Early Childhood Education program.
