National Art Experience
National Art Experience National Art Experience 2015–2016 Participant Information In partnership with Tacoma, Washington #CampFireLovesGlass Glass Glass is the 2015–16 art medium and includes a wide variety of forms, such as hot-blown, mold-blown, flame-worked, sculpted, sandblasted, fused, slumped, enameled, painted, stained, mosaic, recycled, or a combination of these techniques. By participating in the National Art Experience, you will get the opportunity to learn how artists working with the medium of glass employ a variety of hot, warm, and cold techniques. You will get to experience working with some of the glass techniques. Using small glass tiles, you could decorate objects, such as vases and picture frames. You could create jewelry from glass beads or recycled glass or build mosaic tiles. You may be able to find a glass studio to try basic fusing or glassblowing experiences. There are an amazing number of different ways that glass can be used to create unique projects. Camp Fire is continuing to follow the established six-year cycle of art mediums for the National Art Experience—painting, fibers, printmaking, photography, clay, and open medium. The 2015– 16 program year is open medium, and Camp Fire is thrilled to partner with the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, to explore glass as an art medium. The purposes of the Camp Fire National Art Experience are to enable you to explore art as a career or hobby and encourage your creativity. To participate in the Camp Fire National Art Experience, you can choose from several activities. You may do these activities with your Camp Fire group, at your Camp Fire program site, with your family, or on your own.
