HE IMAGINATION IS
a terrible thing to waste. A child’s imagination is an essen-
tial part of growing up. Exercises in exploring the imagi-
nation help children develop flexible perspectives, which
allow them to think beyond boundaries, explore possibili-
ties, ask questions and better understand the world.
Summer arts camps encourage children to expand and
communicate their imagination and are specifically geared
towards creating a safe, supportive environment, where they
can artistically grow.
MUSE
Summer art camps are growing
in popularity because of the positive experience
the children are having.
It is no secret that art museums and art centers have
become quite masterful at developing fun and clever ways to
inspire kids to be creative. And it is, therefore, not surpris-
ing that summer art camp programs are becom-
E X P A N D I N G T H E I M A G I N AT I O N ing more successful each year.
Ken Hannon, Director of Communications for
Dunedin Fine Art Center (www.dfac.org), feels
the camps are growing in popularity because of
the positive experience the children are having.
“Studies show that children who study art, end up
doing better in ALL of their studies,” says Han-
non, “so that makes our programs pretty popular
with parents too!”
These programs are designed to expose students to a
broad range of ideas and art-making experiences through
a virtually endless array of media and theme-based classes.
From drawing, painting and collage to sculpture, photogra-
phy and printmaking, summer art camps offer something for
every budding artist.
As summer swiftly approaches, we encourage you to take
a few moments to check out local museums and art centers
for exciting art camp experiences for your “mini master(s),”
and realize the possibilities. On View
