Summer Art Camp 2013
By the Book: Summer Art Camp 2013
“I’ve heard tell that what you imagine sometimes comes true,” says Grandpa Joe in Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For this year’s art camp, the William King Museum has taken that statement to heart. This summer, campers will delve into the vast and imaginative realm of children’s literature and bring their favorite characters and places to life through drawing, painting, photography, games, theater, and much, much more!

It was a dark and stormy day when the teens came to art camp. Lightning crackled through the sky as they set to work, creating a film and a graphic novel to chronicle their progress. For a week the campers toiled, backs bent, intent on their task, eager to see the product of their labors. At week’s end, they stood back and admired their work: a massive creature, horrible to behold! The campers looked upon their creation and their shouts of triumph echoed through the halls of the museum.
