Camp Art and Sciences
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, Maurits Escher and other great innovators, this holiday camp for kids brings art and science together. Through hands-on projects, children will explore numerous applications of chemistry and create art supplies themselves. They will transform recycled fibers into handmade paper, produce colorful pigments, make watercolor paints, alcohol markers and pastel crayons. Kids will take all their creations home and use them to produce their own works of art.
An exciting holiday camp that sparks curiosity, nurtures creativity and develops lab skills.

Monday
Make Handmade Paper and Explore Tessellations
Children will transform recycled fibers into handmade sheets of paper. They will then explore geometric patterns that cover surfaces without gaps, just like mosaics and designs found in art and architecture.
Tuesday
Create Pigments Through Chemistry
Participants will perform various chemical reactions to produce colorful pigments and learn how artists have created paints throughout history.
Wednesaday
Make Watercolour Paints
Young artists will prepare their own watercolour paints by combining pigments and binders. They will carefully grind the ingredients and by the end of the camp create a complete handmade palette.
Thursday
Discover Mathematics in Art and Create Alcohol Markers
This day of camp combines art and mathematics through the creation of geometric designs. Using rulers and compasses, children will produce precise art patterns. Moreover, they will make their own alcohol markers and experiment with producing color gradients and shades.
Friday
Manufacture Pastel Crayons
Children will discover the secrets of pastel-making using colorful pigments. They will experiment with achieving the desired color shades before taking home their handmade pastels.
Participants take home: handmade paper, watercolor paints, alcohol markers, and pastel crayons.
