SUMMARY:Summer Camp Week 3 (Ages 10-14)
DESCRIPTION:Summer Camp Week 3 at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art celebrates Music\, Community & Large-Scale Art\, focusing on the power of creativity to bring people together. This week highlights community\, rhythm\, and shared storytelling inspired by the cultural traditions of the Biloxi and other Southeastern tribes. \nCamp begins with Rhythm & Culture\, where students explore the role of drums\, music\, and communal gathering in Southeastern tribal life. After discussing how rhythm connects communities during ceremonies and celebrations\, campers design and decorate their own hand drums using paint and mixed materials—creating instruments that reflect personal and cultural expression. \nMidweek\, students collaborate on a large-scale Community Mural inspired by Biloxi culture. On Part 1\, campers plan imagery and themes together\, emphasizing symbols\, river life\, animals\, and shared values. Part 2 brings the mural to life with vibrant tempera paint\, reinforcing teamwork and collective creativity. \nOn Thursday\, students create Stacked Symbol Sculptures—totem-inspired storytelling pieces. While Southeastern tribes did not traditionally use Northwest-style totems\, campers explore the idea of stacked symbolic forms to represent layered stories\, values\, and identity. \nThe week concludes with a joyful Celebration Day & Art Show\, where families are invited to view the mural and student projects. Campers share reflections in a closing circle\, honoring creativity\, collaboration\, and community. \nPLEASE PROVIDE A PACKED LUNCH \nAGES 10-14\nDATES 07/06 – 07/10 \nDownload Camp Application

(Cone 6 = 2 week turnaround/Cone 10 = 8 weeks turnaround) \nThis class is open to all experience levels. No prior clay experience is needed—just a willingness to create and explore. \nCome as you are\, and leave with a piece that feels lived-with and alive. \nInstructor: Marissa Hakes\nLevel: Age 16 and up \nRefunds less credit card fees are available up to 7 days before the class begins.

SUMMARY:Summer Camp Week 1 (Ages 6-9)
DESCRIPTION:Summer Camp Week 1 at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art invites young artists to explore History\, Symbols & Storytelling through the rich cultural traditions of the Biloxi people. Campers begin the week by asking\, Who are the local native people of Biloxi? Through map activities focused on the Gulf Coast and Mississippi\, students learn about tribal history\, cultural values\, and the deep connection between people and place. Inspired by Southeastern symbolism\, each child creates a personal “Story Shield\,” designing meaningful symbols that represent their own identity. \nAs the week unfolds\, campers examine traditional Native motifs—such as suns\, animals\, rivers\, and spirals—before sculpting clay symbol tiles and hand-building coil pots that reflect river culture and pottery traditions. Using natural textures like burlap and shells\, students explore how art connects to environment and daily life. On painting day\, earth-toned palettes bring their creations to life. \nThe week concludes with storytelling and visual narrative. After reading an age-appropriate Tunica-Biloxi legend\, campers collaborate on a large story scroll mural\, celebrating the power of oral tradition and artistic expression. Through hands-on projects and thoughtful discussion\, Week 1 fosters creativity\, cultural appreciation\, and meaningful connections to history. \nPLEASE PROVIDE A PACKED LUNCH \nAGES 6-9\nDates: June 15-19 \nDownload Camp Application
