The past two weeks I have been involved in a teen arts camp. We had may different artists in to teach us, and as a group we had to pull together a final show to display what we had done. We started the first week off with a wheat-paste artist, who would help us complete a mural that we would install ourselves. We worked with a mosaic artist as well, she helped us with a permanent installation. Next we went dow to Charles street video, this was one of my favourite trips. We had the day to write, storyboard, direct and film a movie that we created ourselves. We also had a dancer come in, she taught us where dance originally started. A musician also came in and we made our own instruments and song. We went downtown to Queen street and visited a variety of galleries. Two of the days we had to go to a library and run an arts program with kids from the ages 4-10. We had a polaroid artist come in that taught us how to turn polaroid pictures into stickers! There were many other artist that came in, but these were the highlights of my two weeks with 12 other up-and-coming artists, Anya, Candace, Charlotte, Claire, Elijah, Felicity, Jake, Laura, Lily, Lukus, Olivier and I had a great time and I hope to see them all next year!
