2012 Camp Create collaborative piece
|
There are unique moments in childhood when a young child's pride, self-esteem and joy will be catapulted to heights that are immeasurable, yet unforgettable. Those priceless photo-op moments will take place at the Museum of Florida Art's Camp Create Youth Art Exhibition this summer on the 17th of August.
During this year-end Camp Create celebration, which is in its 6th year, approximately 140 children from ages 4 to 12 will pull mom, dad, grandparents, older siblings and caregivers alike to the special wall where their hand-crafted masterpieces hang. In addition to completing the personal art pieces that the children continue to bring home, it has been a tradition to have the children collaborate on a group project each week - this year Camp Creators were inspired by the Museum's current exhibition Sequined Sentinels: Haitian Flags from the Collection of Candice Russell. Families and guests will be most impressed with the creative effort and storytelling that accompanies these large works of art.
