Recycled Art Camps
reCREATE is co-hosting some cool art camps with reuse materials this summer over at the Utility Exploration Center in Roseville. The folks from Good Day Sacramento came over to do a little teaser about our classes... that was kind of fun!
So why reuse materials for art? Using every-day, non artsand craft kit type items pushs the creativity of kids. I observed some students with tennis ball containers, and saw them each see something different - a fish, a rocket, a race car.... it was awesome! Also - your child just might rethink asking you to make that trip to Michaels (no offense to Michaels - I make plenty of trips there too), and grab a box and some popsicle sticks and start creating.
Here are a few examples of the art that was made on TV.
More info about the classes is on the reCREATE website. We still have space for a few more kids!
