SPRING BREAK ART CAMP 2013 REVIEW
Last Spring we developed a different format for Art Camp where teachers proposed to work with students on projects over the duration of the camp, culminating in a performance or screening on the last day of camp. Camp was a great success and we are excited to be able to share with you some of the wonderful work produced as a result of these camps.
Puppet Show Camp brought joy to the heart! One parent reported that her son literally leapt out of bed in the mornings, in eagerness to come to Camp each day! Chelsey Freyta and Laura Hyde will be offering Puppet Show camp again next Spring Break. Thanks to Natasha Smith for sending in her phone video of the performance, you can see it on Oxygen’s new Youtube channel at: http://youtu.be/kajAThKCriI
Oxygen Art Centre has made an Art Camp channel on Youtube to exhibit all of the amazing animations produced by students aged 9 – 15, at the Spring Break Stop Motion Animation Camps in Nelson and 1-Day Workshops on the East shore. Check it out at: https://www.youtube.com/user/OxygenArtCentreCamps

A note from Art Camp founder – Anita Levesque
Art is essential. It connects us and brings great joy to our lives. By making and creating, we become problem solvers, exercising both sides of our brains. It is a celebration of beauty, a mode to express what is deep within, and a tool to better understand our place in the world.
That which is most essential is often overlooked and taken for granted. The arts are under represented in our schools and communities today. Understanding the importance of art education for our children and youth has been the core inspiration behind our children’s art programming over the past three years. It is with great joy that we see this program growing and becoming a consistent and reliable way for parents to enrich their child’s lives through art.
Thank you to all of you that have been a part of this journey, so far. We look forward to seeing even more smiles and excitement on children’s and parent’s faces as our program develops.
