Building Our Environment
For Rising 6th, 7th and 8th Graders
July 15 - 19, 9:30 - 12:00 PM

We will spend the week exploring the ideas of “home,” “city,” and “infrastructure.” Through visual means – drawing, mapping, and building - the group will think about the many elements that come together to make up our environment. Our tools will be our surroundings and imagination. By the end of the week, you will look at and understand the world in which we live in a new way. This will be a journey of discovery and artful expression.
