Join us for this first week of camp as we turn the spotlight on the rich and mystical storytelling of Betye Saar's three dimensional collage work. Like Saer, we will assemble artworks that speak to our memories, dreams, and deepest imaginings.
In each of our four day summer camps, we will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life. Each camp will include a combination of two dimensional and three dimensional projects, and will be divided into a 6-10 year old age group and an 11-14 year old group.
Class Time
June 8th-11th
Tuesday - Friday, 10:00am-3:00pm
Drop off between 9:30-10, projects will begin at 10.
*The Prairie Arts Center recommends masks for all unvaccinated children attending our summer art camps. This recommendation is based on guidance from the CDC, the City of Stillwater, OSU, and Stillwater Public Schools.
Tuition
$125.00 members, $150.00 non-members

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.
11-14 years old
