The 2024 Art Exploration Summer Camps at the Mansfield Art Center offers a unique and innovative approach to creative learning through STEAM learning methods. This camp is designed for children who love art and want to explore a variety of creative techniques, materials, and mediums in a fun and educational environment.

Throughout the camp, children will create art in a variety of mediums, including , mosaics, ceramics, 3D printing, glassblowing, block printing, Macrame, glass fusing, origami, sewing, jewelry, Acrylic painting and enameling. In addition, this year we will also be offering watercolor, rhythm and percussion and the art of photography .

The camp will be led by experienced Ohio artists who specialize in each medium being taught!

Each day, children will create new projects that combine artistic expression with scientific inquiry and technological innovation. For example, they learn to create a 3D printed project, design a mosaic using geometric shapes, or fuse glass to make a functional piece of art. Throughout each project, they will explore the creative process and gain valuable skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration.

The camps will be divided into age groups, with activities and instruction tailored to each group's level and interests. The camp will also include a walkthrough through the Mansfield Art Center Museum (if a show is currently being exhibited). All materials and supplies will be provided, and children will be encouraged to experiment and explore different materials to develop their own unique creative voice. Each child will additionally need to bring a lunch each day of camp.

The Mansfield Art Center's Art Exploration Summer Camps for children are an excellent opportunity for children to develop their artistic skills, gain valuable knowledge in STEAM education, and make new friends in a fun and supportive environment.
