After learning about different artists and art mediums, campers explore their own interpretations of a selected artist’s work on recycled fabric. The children are part of Journey through the Mediums: The Study of an Artist, this week’s Key West Art & Historical Society’s ArtCamp! led by instructor Pascale Beregovoi-Davis.

“On so many occasions I have heard children (& adults) say “I can’t draw” or “I can’t paint”,” says Beregovoi-Davis, who has studied Art & Design at the renowned St. Martin’s School of Arts and teaches at the Montessori Children’s School in Key West. “I believe art is for everyone, and if just given a chance and an opportunity people are usually surprised to what they are capable of!”

The camp is held every summer at Fort East Martello’s Imagination Institute, a camp for children aged 5-12, featuring a themed week with auxiliary activities and excursions that include field trips to local museums, nearby beaches and gardens—all highlighting the abundant history and cultural assets of our islands while encouraging and expanding students in their knowledge of their local community.
