Get ready to make art that moves! In Art in Motion, young artists will explore how artwork can spin, swing, flow, and respond to motion. Campers will create dynamic projects inspired by wind, balance, movement, and gravity.
From spin art and pendulum painting to kinetic sculptures, hanging mobiles, and wind-powered creations, students will experiment with movement as a design tool while discovering rhythm, cause-and-effect, and bold self-expression. Expect big gestures, vibrant colors, and art that doesn’t sit still!
This camp is primarily indoors with some outdoor activities weather permitting. Please arrive prepared for Colorado mountain weather with layers, sunscreen, hat, water, and snacks.
