Children’s Summer Art Camp (For ages 8-10): Moving Parts

The Westmoreland Museum of American Art offers week-long art camps where children can explore their creativity through fun, innovative programs taught by a professional art instructor. Each camp features a different theme, and campers spend time both in the galleries and the Museum’s studio space throughout the week. Full day camps come complete with a field trip to an exciting venue related to the camp’s theme, a cool t-shirt and an exhibition at the end of week. Class Description: Come explore movement in art with science, kinetics, mobiles, gravity and visual movement of color and shape. Create 3D sculptures with moving parts, hand-powered art, movement with batteries, op art and breezy art. Then explore the science behind motion during a trip to the Carnegie Science Center. Full Day Camps for children: $125 for Museum members, $145 non-members. Full-day campers are to bring their own lunch each day. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
