SUMMER
CAMPS |
CAMPS RUN IN WEEK LONG INTERVALS
FROM JUNE 2 2ND THROUGH JULY 24TH.
The 2009 Bowers Kidseum Summer Art Camps offer cultural art projects and archaeological
experiences based on ancient history and contemporary indigenous life,
customs, rituals, and traditional folk craft and art. Each week has a separate theme
and integrates the arts with geography, cultural history, and social sciences through
the use of artifacts and hands-on art activities. Students are exposed to culturally
diverse views of life, everyday activities, rituals, food and celebrations. All art activities
immerse young people in success-oriented art experiences, in age appropriately
manageable blocks of time and build basic skills using brain and hand coordination
while naturally integrating critical thinking with problem solving. The archaeological
digs, on the patio, allow students to explore ancient civilizations through handson
recovery of "artifacts". They learn how to set up a site, how to date and catalogue
the items and why they need to be to preserved.

EDUCATOR
WORKSHOPS |
Special in-training workshops, related to exhibits, are offered twice a year for
teachers. These classes provide instructional information to apply directly to the
classroom and assist in pointing the teachers to subjects that will stimulate student
learning through direct computer research, hands-on projects and speculative
subjects. Past workshops have explored The Day of the Dead and other fascinating
holidays.

CULTURAL
TRUNKS |
Kidseum Cultural Art Trunks, rented out for a small weekly fee, are designed to
create a mini-gallery in the classroom. The trunks include materials related to their
theme, such as hands-on art objects, lesson plans, videos, and books. Bring the
pyramids from Egypt into your class with our Egyptian trunk, go "green" with your
students as you explore toys made from recycled items from across the globe and
many more.
