Hey Everyone! Counselors Amber, Joey, and Atticus here!
Today was yet another fun-filled day! The campers started off the day with breakfast, creative expression, and their arts workshops. After grabbing some lunch, we headed on over to Laguna Beach to check out the Festival of Arts.
The kids were able to observe a variety of different visual artists from all over Orange County. Afterwards they had the opportunity to explore three different activities and create their own visual masterpieces.
Pots were decorated through water marbling, they created their own personal print with a mechanical printing press, and also got to create their own scratch art designs on special scratch paper. Along with creating their own art, everyone was able to learn and discuss with artists as they had time to explore the various visual techniques.
Before the show, we were given a full backstage tour of the Irvine Bowl and shown how the Pageant of the Masters is run. There were wigs, set pieces, costumes, and one huge orchestra pit! It really gave everyone the opportunity to see all of the work that goes into such a huge stage production.
After a long afternoon at the festival, everyone trekked down to Heisler Park and got to have pizza near the beach.
To conclude the night, arts-X-press got to watch the Pageant of the Masters! After a long and busy day, the kids were dazzled by the impressive performance of the cast as they held the positions of famous paintings for minutes at a time.
We look forward to seeing some of you at the parent presentation on Tuesday!
