In this summer afternoon program at the Telfair, students will gain an appreciation for fine art through creative visual and hands-on experiences. Participants will tour the exhibitions on view at the Jepson Center, studying the work of noted artists such as William Christenberry and Luther Vann. Every afternoon, after viewing artwork from the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, campers will head to the education studios to discover a new artistic technique based on their gallery visits. Each camp culminates with an exciting student art exhibition — featuring work produced during the weeklong program — and a reception in the nationally recognized Jepson Center for the Arts!
Take advantage of this unique educational opportunity and see how much your child can learn about both the conceptual and technical aspects of art in a museum setting!
