As summer comes to a close, I am reflecting on everything I learned these past few months as Visual Arts Faculty for the Junior Division at Interlochen Arts Camp.  What these young artists were able to accomplish in the 3 all too short 2 week sessions is astounding.  I will post later in detail about the individual projects we pursued, but for now I’d like to post a general highlight reel of their work.  I taught three different classes: Cartooning (co-taught with Jessica Vacek), Drawing/Painting, and Printmaking (3x per day).  My wonderful assistant was Jax Ohashi.  The students I worked with ranged in age from 8 to 12 years, and came to Interlochen from all across the globe.  It was an honor to teach them!
