drawing by design image

Administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts (GVCA), Mt. Morris, NY (Formerly of the Geneseo Migrant Center), CAMPS has produced instructional arts videos for farmworker families and Out of School Youth. These videos can be accessed on smartphones, tablets, and laptops! Printed steps with photo examples accompany each video.

In the Drawing By Design project with Julia Stewart-Bittle, participants will learn to draw repeating pattern designs and make a Family Tree by tracing their hands for the tree and roots. Create an heirloom to be passed on to future generations by writing your family’s names along the branches and roots. (5 videos ~ For grades 6-12, OSY, and adults)
