EACC recently held its annual Summer Enrichment Camp for area students entering grades 2nd - 6th.  The theme for this year's camp was Out of the Box Art.  The camp was held Monday, July 10th - Thursday, July 13th.

The four day program was designed to provide fun and challenging enrichment for students who excel in academics.  Highly qualified teachers representing CLUE (Creative Learning in a Unique Environment) instructed the campers. 

Throughout the week, 84 campers explored and participated in hands-on activities that sparked their creative thinking and allowed them to work like artists while making their ideas happen.  Students gained a deeper appreciation for art and the benefits of artistic expression. 

Campers were immersed in creative activities including canvas painting, salt painting, watercolors, line art, self-portraits, glue art and pop art.  They learned different art styles such as impressionism, surrealism, and sculpting. They also used computer coding to create original art pieces.  The fun-filled camp sparked the students' creativity as they produced original pieces of art. They learned about famous artists such as Andy Goldsworthy, Alberta Giacometti, Keith Haring, and more. 

Students from Forrest City, Palestine/Wheatley, Wynne, Lee Academy, and Cross County schools attended this year's camp and received recommendations from their teachers.  The camp was under the direction of Logan Brasfield, EACC's Director of Community Education.
