Where Students in Grades 3-12 Experience "The Arts" |
During the camp students selected art forms to study and create projects under the instruction of North Dakota artists. Guest art instructors for 2010 were: Guillermo Guardia, Ceramics; Adam Kemp - Miniature Golf Course Sculptures; Sue Olson - Mosaic; Jessica Christy - Collage; Josh Hagen and Michelle Lynch Hagen - Drawing; Jessie Palczewski, Dupree SD Performing art classes are under the direction of the Summer Arts Safari, a program of Summer Arts Stages which is a nonprofit organization from East Grand Forks MN. In bringing the excitement of the arts to students, Safari believes involvement includes not only performance, but also learning more about various aspects of the art-making process. The Safari mission fits in perfectly with the Nelson County Arts Council’s youth camp where both visual and performing art sessions are available. Safari Troupe Members for 2010 were: Amanda Zimmerman, Jill Useldinger, Cory Carivau, Alyce Stokke, and Alex Fairchild. |

| Lakefront Refuge During their found objects sculpture class with Adam Kemp, the students created several sculptures that can be viewed on the miniature golf course and in front of the pavilion, but none are more colorfully delightful than their hidden Lakefront Refuge. I was only given the general direction in which to seek out the little sanctuary and its accompanying sturdy adult size chair. My five-year-old grandson and I were delighted when our hunt brought into view a flourish of color nestled among the trees overlooking the lake. We spent half an hour sitting on the benches of the little shelter (created to fit all sizes) and the chair talking and enjoying the lake view and the seclusion the little lakefront property offered us. Brenda Bjorlie We invite you to take a stroll and locate this fanciful composition. Clue: The trail is near the small shelter to the west of the pavilion. If you locate the Lakefront Refuge, email bebjorlie@gondtc. We will post your comments. |
