The goal of the Anne Arundel County Public schools Enrichment Program is to provide students an intensive studio experience with activities focusing on the world around them. This summer’s program will meet at the Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center. During the weeklong program, observational drawing and painting will be used as our prime record making tools as we slow down, observe, and reflect on nature’s warehouse of secrets. Study the dragonfly up close, and enjoy the water’s edge as we explore Nature Journaling. Come and uncover Nature’s master plan of organization and develop your own creativity!
