Summer Enrichment Program at UNC: what I did on my summer vacation...
Guerilla -environmental art; "Starfish," by SEP student
guerilla weaving on UNC campus
(Portable) camera obscura, part of the Cold Case Renaissance project. Students attempted to replicate David Hockney's theory that Renaissance painters "cheated" with lenses.
For four weeks this summer, I worked with gifted middle and high school students from across the country and around the world, as part of the University of Northern Colorado's Summer Enrichment Program. This was the final piece of my Master's Degree program in Gifted Education. I offered three different classes, two which I piloted in previous years at RMS, and one new one, which I created on site this summer. The classes were:
Cold Case Renaissance
Guerilla Art
Poetic Inspiration for Artists
GUERILLA ART ALERT:
SEP students engaged in low-impact, mostly legal, unauthorized art in public spaces this summer on the University of Northern Colorado campus.

Poetic Inspiration at UNC
"The Road Less Traveled" By 'C' - High School Student participating in SEP.'C' 's 18"X24" acrylic painting was made in response to Robert Frost's poem; The Road Not Taken. 'C' told me that the right side of his painting represents the road society has taken. The left side is the side few take.

"L" is a high school student who participated in the SEP class: Poetic Inspiration. She worked on this small (9"X12") watercolor painting over about 5 days, adding her original poem on the final day.
