Week 2: A Galaxy Far Away... (June 14th-18th)

Camper's imagination reaches for the cosmos at the intersection of art, science, and nature! Delve into outer space landscape paintings with artist Chesley Bonestell, then rocket off to the outer limits on the wings of Vladimir Kush's surrealist butterflies. Explore the Space Art of Marjorie Pesek and Lucien Rudaux, who portrayed extraordinary worlds and their striking alien beauty. As campers study techniques of light and color through illustration, painting, and found-object sculpture, they will get back to nature in galaxies far away.
