Fine Arts Camp Closed
Fine Arts Camp - June 12 - August 4, 2006
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Fine Arts Camp (FAC) is dedicated to providing elementary level students with the opportunity to explore music, drama, and visual arts in a safe and friendly environment.
With experienced and friendly staff, campers will gain a better understanding of different areas of art through hands-on activities. The weekly camp offerings will not only foster an emphasis in the arts, but will incorporate camp-like events such as nature hikes, swimming, water games, and other such outdoor activities.
Features
• Drama: Campers will have the opportunity to explore their
theatrical awareness, and to participate in a series of
activities and games which will assist them in doing so.
• Art: Campers will engage in various art projects, individually
and as a group. Project mediums range from paper mache,
painting, and sculpting, using 2-D and 3-D design principles.
• Music: Through hands-on activities, song, and dance,
campers will gain a better understanding of basic musical
elements.
• Electives: Electives are fun activities planned by the
group leaders which change daily. Campers will have the
opportunity to choose two of three offered electives.
• All Camp Activity: Every Friday, FAC as a whole will
conduct an activity that involves the entire camp. These
activities range from an ice cream social, to a talent show,
and even an all camp four-square tournament. This event
is Friday’s elective camp activity.
