Summer Camp

<h1>Summer at the Museum of Cycladic Art</h1>

<h3>During the summer camp of the Museum of Cycladic Art, children take their summer break, in the museum. For five days in June or July, they get to play, improvise and create, inspired by a different theme each year.</h3>

This year's summer camp draws inspiration from nature! Through myths, games, artworks, dance, music, and connecting ourselves with nature, children are inspired to create their own masterpieces. Their works will be celebrated and exhibited in a special event dedicated to Mother Nature.Let’s craft a magnificent summer together, filled with colors, inspiration, nature, art, and joy!Day 1: Meeting Mother Nature Mother Nature welcomes us, by sharing exciting stories from the world's creation. The Cycladic idols and the art of the indigenous people of the Pacific Ocean inspire us to create and bring our works to life using the vibrant colors seen on Cycladic artworks.Day 2: Art with natural materials A stroll in the Μuseum's garden awakens our inspiration to craft a land art piece using natural materials. We explore the works of contemporary artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Smithson, who reveal the secrets of their art. Returning to our workshop, we draw inspiration from the works of native Americans and contemporary artist Brian Jungen to create our own totems using original and recyclable materials.

Day 3: An animal kingdom made of clay African myths about animals and clay figurines from ancient Greece inspire us to make our own clay creatures. Following Pablo Picasso's lead, we play with an innovative technique, crafting imaginary animals. We observe ancient coins and decorate them with our favorite real or imaginary animals.Day 4: Journey into the insect world Myths from Ancient Greece and Africa take us to the secret kingdom of insects, to learn about the most remarkable ones, their nests and habits. With the art of printmaking, we capture our impressions on paper. Leaves, soil, and branches become the materials for a gigantic, collective collage!Day 5: Celebrating nature The last day of the summer camp is a celebration! Drawing inspiration from the impressionist movement, we set up easels, canvases, brushes, and colors in the garden, painting whatever sparks our imagination. We return to the workshop to show our artworks to our parents and invite them to a special event featuring a surprise country!
