“I come every year,” stated nine-year-old Giovanni Hollis of the summer art camp at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. Giving the camp a two thumbs up, the Warwick Academy student explained his reason for attending: “I like lots of different types of art, and the best bit about camp is you get to do painting. I love painting.”Throughout the summer there will be a Bermudian focus to the activities offered in two-week segments. ‘Catch of the Day’ is the current theme and will be followed by ‘From A to B’ (transportation), ‘Living in Limestone’ (geology and architecture) and the gombeys, “which,” noted Education Director Robyn De Silva, “doesn’t have a catchy title because they’re just so catchy anyway.”With 30 children per week ranging from five to 13 years of age, it can seem a little like “organised chaos”, but with creativity flowing, the children finish the camp having experienced ten different art adventures.And it’s not just art. As if creating ten different pieces of art weren’t enough, the programme squeezes in elements of performing arts, a field trip that ties in with the week’s theme, a Wet and Wild Wednesday and an art exhibition on Friday afternoons following a special lunch of pizza and sno-cones.But it’s the art that draws the kids.For six-year-old Lily Ingham, “I like it here because I get to do art and have fun.” Field trips, seeing friends and making art combine to create a camp where “you have fun and you get everything you like.”Heron Bay student Izrael Pearman echoes her sentiments. At the camp “because I like to do art,” he was particularly impressed with the wax-resist painting.Other examples of the media the children have explored include decorating their sun hats donated by Bermuda Cancer and Health Association, papier maché scuplture, painting triptychs, sea glass and pottery shard mosaics and sand castles crafted from cardboard and beach sand. There is also a mural that children will work on throughout the summer.Summing up the experience, Victoria Mello declared, “I want to be here. It’s fun. I love art, and you get to do lots of activities. The mural is the most exciting thing because I’ve never done something like that before.”
