Summer Camps

Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! This week, get to know the animals in the DAM’s collection, then make art inspired by our furry friends back in the workshop. Be sure to have your safari hats and binoculars ready for this adventure!

From fashion to soft sculpture, there are all kinds of artwork to create with the versatile medium of fabric! This week, campers will take a closer look at this material, both in the galleries and as artists in the workshop.

Experiment with all kinds of media, from paint to paper to fabric and more! Play with materials and ideas like a true artist and take home art inspired by the many genres and materials seen in the museum’s diverse collections.

Transform the everyday into the extraordinary! Explore how artists like El Anatsui turn recycled materials into stunning works of art, then head to the workshop to experiment with found objects and build your own bold, imaginative assemblage.
