Keiki ages 6 to 10 last month learned different forms of art during the East Hawaii Cultural Center Kipuka camp.
During the camp, students created 2D and 3D artwork that reflected the Hawaiian rainforest by learning new skills like painting, paper making, printmaking, collaging and sculpting.
Their creative work culminated in an immersive installation that was on display for a limited time at the EHCC annex space.
The camp was free thanks to funding from the Atherton Family Foundation, the Hawaii Community Foundation and First Hawaiian Bank.
While registration has closed for EHCC’s other summer art programs, Youth Art Saturdays, or YAS, continue throughout the year on the second Saturday of each month.
The monthly event takes place right outside the main gallery and is free and open to keiki of all ages.
