Description: Build, assemble, attach, and decorate! In this camp, we will use shapes and various tactile and colorful materials to make sculptures. Students will be inspired by daily tours of the UA Museum's collection and grounds. Tell a story, create an animal, or just have fun with shapes! Each activity will provide campers with a hands-on experience and great works of 3-D art to take home.
