Inside Out: Making Art + Expressing Our Feelings
Youth Summer Camp | Registration opens 1/22/2025 9:00 AM EST
Get into your feelings! Using the movie Inside Out as inspiration, we will connect with our emotions and practice expressing ourselves in a healthy way—by getting creative and making art. Each day we will get in touch with a new emotion and make a work of art that is influenced by that character's personality. We’ll tune in to our joy, our anger, our anxiety, and our excitement, and we'll engage with many dynamic art styles and projects to help you learn how best to express your big feelings.
Claudia Meyer
Claudia is an artist and object-maker living and working in Richmond, VA primarily working in clay and paper media. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media in 2020. Her handbuilt works in clay, although they are made of hardened earth, feel soft to the touch. Their colors are as jovial and earthly as bursting laughter. These objects emit energy through their whimsical forms and patterns. She learns from the way that the moon and the trees wave to each other and the deep knowledge rooted in the earth and our bodies.
Through her teaching, she aims to democratize the classroom space, leveling the student/teacher relationship to one of reciprocity rather than authority. Her students learn just as much from the world around them as they do from each other. In her classroom, Claudia exists as a guide for her creative students' journeys and she endeavors to teach her students limitlessness in their creative pursuits.
