Students will explore the many ways in which a variety of media can be manipulated. The emphasis will be on process over product, with each day dedicated to a different medium. Classes will include hand-building with clay, watercolor painting and tactile collage using mixed media. The goal for each structured exploration is to give students the opportunity to develop critical-thinking skills, take risks and experience success.  

Each afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to experience the splendor of the Rocky Mountains through outdoor activities, including horseback riding, whitewater rafting, swimming and more. Lunch is provided each day.
