Splat and Splodge: A Ralph Steadman Inspired Art Camp

Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with our neighbors to the north, the OSU Museum of Art, for this year's Spring Break Camp. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday, March 18th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing where campers will get to see Steadman's expressive, bold, and whimsical work up close. Our week of art making will take inspiration from Steadman's ink blot technique and his willingness to wait for characters and images to emerge from his random splats and splodges. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes!
