Emanuel Arts Council’s annual Summer Art Camp was held June 20-22 this year. Once again, the camp was held at The Sudie Fulford Community Learning Center of East Georgia State College. The camp is for rising third through fifth grade students and is funded by a generous grant from Mill Creek Foundation.
This year, the camp was led by artist Terrie Daniel and assisted by Mark Lillquist and Daniella Delgado. Students were guided though several art projects during the three-day camp, including how to make clay pots, mixing primary colors, beadwork, and painting items found in nature. Snacks and drinks were also provided each day.
