Art Camp updates - finally

Since today is August 31, 2009 and many public schools don't start classes until later this week I've decided to still consider this summer and I'm finally going to get the photos from this summer's art camp posted.

Summer was amazing!! We had camp after camp of fun, energetic, creative kids and it was a blast. We held 16 sessions of camp and my goal is to post them 2 at a time. I'm going to work backwards from camp 16 to camp 1. There will be more photos than text so hopefully you'll be able to see what the camps were like.

Regular classes start Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - there is still time to register for a class. Creative thinking starts with art! Connecticut ART School
