Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

Day 3: Stacie's CE Class

Good Morning!!  So much exploration (ooOOooo) has occurred in the past 3 days.  In our class, the campers have been exploring themselves as artists through poetry, journals, and other forms of writing.  They all have expressed what they are learning about themselves as artists and where they see themselves in the future. 

On the first day of class, each camper wrote a letter to themselves describing their feelings on the first day.  I can't wait for them to read those letters again tomorrow to see how their feelings have changed over the short course of 3 days. 

Tomorrow night is the big Parent Presentation and my class is so excited to share their work!  They will each get the opportunity to present part of the work they have been creating in CE.  I can't wait for the parents to see how amazing and reflective their children are.

I leave you with some pictures of the artists at work:
