Discover the beauty of nature through art in this inspiring camp! Young artists will create works influenced by the natural world, exploring the ephemeral land art of Andy Goldsworthy and the vibrant florals of Georgia O’Keeffe. Participants will learn about ethical foraging and use herbs and flowers gathered from Fox Haven to create stunning cyanotypes. Activities include building sculptures from natural materials, painting landscapes, and sketching organic forms. Campers will also play games and stay cool playing in the creek. Through hands-on projects and outdoor adventures, participants will learn to see nature as both a muse and a medium, fostering creativity and a deeper connection to the environment.
We will explore and create:
Wax paper pressed flowers
Cyanotype Bandanas
Jeff Goldsworthy inspired nature sculptures
Woodcut and leaf relief prints
Flower Pounding
Found object nature crowns
