 Illustration by David Matthews | OUR ARTCAMP TEACHERS ARE THE BEST! Our artCamp teachers are the best! They’re experienced and creative and talented and caring and kind and fun and funny, too! When I put out the call for class proposals, they respond with exciting ideas. artCamp teachers inspire me! They come early each artCamp morning to set up their classrooms and hang out on the porch with arriving artCampers. They teach all day giving hands-on instruction, guidance and encouragement to our aspiring young artists. At lunch break they hang |
out some more with their artCampers. Sometimes they join in a game or two of kickball or tag. At the end of the day, after they tidy classrooms with the help of artCampers and interns, they go home knowing they’ve done their best and made an artful difference in the lives of these kids we cherish.
artCamp 2017, July 10-14 and 17-21, will have eleven teachers who’ve helped me build an awesome curriculum with forty unique classes. This is going to be the best artCamp ever! I’m delighted to introduce you to half of our staff today. Next week I’ll introduce you to all the others.
