June 23-27 & July 7-11
Earth-Art!!
Experience Art and create your own freedoms while immersed in Nature!!
Earth-Art!! day camp is open to ages 7-70+
This year we will be offering two seperate weeks of Earth Art!! day camp. June 23 - 27 and again on July 7-11, 2008.
Earth Art, or -as we like to spell it: eARTh! - combines art with the fundamentals of play and the exploration of nature.
This is where true fun begins! Students will be introduced to the natural world in a new and exciting way and given a chance to experience their own relationship with the natural world and creativity. All done in the tradition of the Fine Arts Camp at Earth Teach.
The building blocks of this new relationship are rooted in the ancient Primitive Living Skills and forms of Artistic Expression that were lived by all people throughout the world. These practices include mask making, natural sculpting projects, watercolor, sketching, creative journaling, storytelling, music, dance, personal shelter construction from only what materials the landscape provides, fire making methods using no matches or lighters, techniques for finding and gathering safe drinking water in the woods, silent movement, observing animals and birds, tracks and sign, and feeling the sense of belonging and fellowship with the forest. Above all, the most important skill is the cultivation of the imagination and the wonder of a Questioning mind.
Through the blended guidance of talented local professional artists with highly skilled Coyote Trails instructors, Earth Art students will find a deeper appreciation for cultural and creative diversity, and begin an amazing exploration of their own artistic relationship with nature, themselves, and their community.
