Wild Artists Youth Camp
Jul 24-27, 10am-12noon, Smelt Bay
Come explore nature-based artistic play and awaken your wild creative spirit with the elements through song, story, sand-castle building, movement and art. Together we will explore bardic arts: connecting with nature and telling our stories through artistic expression.
What is a bard? A singer, a speaker, an artist who connects deeply with nature and brings stories to the community. The bardic magic of creativity can be channeled if only we turn our curious eyes to the wild edges nature and ourselves…
Each day we will explore a new element to inspire our artistic play..
🌎 Earth ~ story-telling - every place holds stories in layers of memory and each story has a geography… come explore story through world-building and sand-castle creation.
🌬️ Air ~ We’ll explore sound play with our voices, then learn to catch songs in the wind. Breath fills us and we become an instrument, like flute or bagpipes, it gives us voice to bring our creativity into the realm of sound.
🔥 Fire ~ Together we’ll experiment with finding new forms, shapes and ways to move our bodies. What moves you? Today, we are going to find out! Soaking up the sun and playing with the waves, we will draw on nature for embodied inspiration.
🌊 Water ~ Come make art inspired by the ocean waves… Fluid and dreamy, water inspires our exploration of colour and art. Learning from water, we can open up intuitive play and create from our own deep inner well of creative imagination.
