Art In Motion Week

---

This is not an art camp that sits quietly at a table.

This is movement, mess, scale, curiosity, and big ideas colliding.

We begin by leaving the building—mural hopping through large-scale public art. Kids study color, story, line, and placement in real space, then return to design and paint their own murals, learning the foundations of mural drawing and collaborative creation.

From there, the exploration expands.

Students dive into face painting as a living canvas—expression, symmetry, character, and visual storytelling. We sharpen drawing techniques and take a visit to the Oglethorpe University Art Department, where kids experience figure drawing with a live model, developing observation skills, proportion, and an understanding of movement.

We step outside again for landscape art during our trail walk. Kids slow down, observe light, shadow, texture, and distance, learning how to translate real environments onto paper. This is where patience sharpens, perspective deepens, and nature becomes both subject and teacher.

Art keeps moving.

Through photography and digital art, kids stage action shots and dynamic poses, transforming motion into collages, short films, and visual narratives. We explore how movement tells a story—freeze frames, sequencing, perspective, and creative editing.

We balance all that energy with intention by illustrating LY Kids Books on Mindfulness, translating emotion, awareness, and imagination into visual form.

Then we let experimentation lead:

• Pendulum art
   
• Splatter art
   
• Mobile installations that shift with air and space
   
• Marbling everyday objects into one-of-a-kind pieces
   

Every medium invites risk, play, and discovery.

By the end of Art in Motion Week, each child leaves with a curated art portfolio—not a random stack of projects, but a thoughtful collection of their strongest work. Portfolios may include mural designs, figure sketches, face-paint studies, landscape drawings from the trail, photography prints, digital collages, illustrated mindfulness pages, and mixed-media experiments.

Kids learn how to select, present, and speak about their work, understanding the creative process as much as the finished piece.

This isn’t refrigerator art.

It’s a visual record of growth, confidence, and creative courage.

Art in Motion Week is where imagination stops asking permission—and starts taking up space.
