Get moving and mechanical with this jam-packed art camp! This week will be all about action, resistance, and physics. Join us to roll, splatter, swing, and blow life into our art materials. Participants will explore action-based making with simple machines, such as levers and pendulums, and add complexity to their experiments with resist techniques. Students can expect to use watercolor, acrylic or tempera, tape, straws, marbles, yardsticks, string, and spoons in their creative explorations.

All supplies included. TMA members receive 10% off all registrations.

Summer Camps at TMA are one week, Monday – Friday, all led by local professional artists.
