So in case you missed yesterday’s post I have started my annual photo features on different summer camps in the Atlanta area. This week I am focusing on art camps and on the first Wednesday in June I headed over to Sandy Springs to check out the Summer Youth Art Weeks at the Abernathy Arts Center. Groups of kids were working on different projects, some using clay, some using paints and some using pencils. Regardless of the medium, it looked to me that all were having fun as they created their works of art.
