Summer Camp Overview
Over the course of four days, creative campers will discover three locations in Milwaukee. Each day they will learn, explore, and create through various activities and experiences like scavenger hunts, guided tours, and their own limitless creativity! Armed with one of Islands of Brilliance’s iPads, participants will merge the physical and digital worlds as they leave their mark at each location.
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT!
Day One
Participants will be introduced to the experience and each other. They will learn about and explore the iPad they will be using over the course of the workshops. And they will begin their journey together by sharing how they’ve “left their mark” so far in their homes and communities.
Day Two
Campers will be introduced to the concept of “Slow Looking” where they become detectives as they slow down and really explore the location. They'll be encouraged to notice the slightest of details and come up with stories behind those details, allowing time to make their own discoveries and form a more personal connection with it. Participants will then break off into small groups to further explore the location to find something that resonates with them. They will capture it on their iPad and then creatively remix the piece, leaving their mark and making it their own with Procreate.
Day Three
We head outside to learn about nature. Participants will learn about their environment and how we are all interconnected. They will set out on a scavenger hunt to collect materials both physical and digital as they build their final project. While exploring the setting, participants will build on their learnings of “slow looking” with “slow listening,” slowing down to hear and see the finest details of their surroundings. Finally, participants will create rock art to leave behind and write haikus inspired by the day.
Day Four
We will return to our original location to reflect on our experiences over the past three days. Participants will then spend the majority of their day creating a piece on their iPad that sums up their experiences and how they have left their mark at the places we visited…and how they might continue to leave their mark in the future.
