Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar for this year's Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 16th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour. Campers will get to see and touch some of the Sheerar's most interesting historical objects and learn the stories of another time. Taking those objects and stories as inspiration, we will spend the rest of our time together making object based artworks that tell our own stories. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.
Instructor’s name
Art educator Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate degree in art history and English literature from the University of Kansas, as well as an MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching) from the English Department at the University of Montana. In her own practice, Jen is equally invested in understanding the larger world through her interactions with the art objects of others and the making of her own art objects. Jen considers her greatest strengths as an educator to be the facilitation of reflective and critical conversations about art and art making, as well as the creation of safe environments for authentic explorations into the practices of self-expression and making. Her preferred mediums are mixed media, printmaking, and photography, but she enjoys the act of creation no matter the medium and considers it one of her greatest joys to make art alongside others.
