Tater Tots: A Week of Art Making, Cooking and Playing
Campers will learn about the elements of art through the works of various artists using a multisensory approach that combines storytelling, playing, cooking, art-making and engaging conversation with Maite Gomez-Rejon of ArtBites and educator extraordinaire, Eidelriz Senga.
Each day, children will discover a different artist and their art forms. They will experiment with diverse materials and techniques and cook foods inspired by the art. Each class includes lively discussion, hands-on cooking and art making, and culminates in a group feast.
