Arts for Learning Lessons Goes to Camp: Camp Stories

The Journey Continues

The Hero's Journey (Arts for Learning Lessons Program) is one of the scheduled classes Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center offers campers at City of Atlanta Recreation Centers (Morningside, Dunbar, Bessie Branham, Rosel Fann) this summer.

Students follow the story adventures of a fictional hero on a quest.  As the students hear about the hero's wisdom, courage, and compassion, they reflect on those characteristics in their own lives and represent these stories in their art projects.

This summer, Young Audiences' Teaching Artists will combine the theme of "hero" with the art techniques for collage.  Campers at Morningside, Dunbar, Bessie Branham, and Rosel Fann will go on this hero's journey.
