Boulder Summer Camp - Week #9: Nature Camp
By Scribble Art Workshop
How can we run an art camp in Boulder and not celebrate the amazing views of nature that surround us? The answer is, we can't! This camp will focus on creating artwork inspired by and using materials found in nature. We'll begin the week by creating nature mandala collages from collected materials that we'll sort and paint from a hike. Our next project will also include exploring the outdoors as we experience plein air painting (painting landscapes outside) at the bottom of the foothills. We'll finish up the week by using our printing press to explore nature prints. Please note that this camp will include some days where artists will be dropped off at an alternative outdoor site and others where we'll work in the studio. All locations will be in Boulder. We'll end the week with an art show!

About Scribble Art Workshop
Our Boulder studio is a welcoming, sunlight-filled, creative space.
Here, we encourage our young artists to explore all sorts of art-making including painting, sculpture, comic book illustration, printmaking, and most importantly, the full process of professional silkscreening. Our focus in this studio is exposing our students to careers in the arts, even at a very early age. We'll produce (with the help of the teen guild) yearly art markets, exhibitions and film festivals and create work with these culminating community events in mind. On a typical day in the studio, you'll find toddlers and pre-schoolers exploring materials in the mornings, our after-school clubhouse abuzz with socializing and creativity in the afternoons, and teens/adults learning from practicing artists in the evenings. On the weekends, our studio is alive with birthday parties, printmaking groups, adult art-making events and more.
