Northwestern State University’s Art Department held the first of three art camps June 3-7 for area youngsters. Thirty-seven young artists between the ages of 5 and 11 will enjoy a week of creativity and learning as they work with NSU Art faculty and older art students.
In this week’s camp, the youngsters develop their creativity by making robot sculptures with corks and wire as well as making items with plastic beads and other art projects. The third camp is for older artists, ages 11-18, and will teach more advanced art skills. The teens will choose among resources such as 3D printers, laser cutters/engravers, carving, printmaking and more. The instructors will be NSU Art professors, and the camp will be similar in style to actual classes at NSU’s Art Department.
NSU has been hosting these superb opportunities for young artists to learn, make new friends, and grow for over 15 years. If you would like more information about NSU’s Art Camps, feel free to contact Associate Professor Corbin Covher at covherc@nsula.edu.
