VISUAL ARTS + STEM = REALLY COOL CLASSES FOR CURIOUS CREATIVES
OVERVIEW
Why not just call this a STEAM class?
This summer camp is an Art class first and foremost, with art creation as our main focus. Exploration of STEM concepts and ways of thinking are included in our art-making journey. Each session will encompass Visual Arts instruction and also geeky Science, Math, Engineering, and Tech themes!

About Gabi | Elle Creative
I received my Bachelor of Science in Art Education in 2001 and have taught in public schools, with small groups and Senior Citizens ever since. I estimate that I have had roughly 6,000 students in my classes!
For 6 years in Missouri, I was a visual art teacher for students from kindergarten to 8th grade. After moving to California in 2007, I taught for Starting Arts, an amazing arts organization that provides arts education to Bay Area public school kids who don’t otherwise receive classes through their normal school programs. I wore many different hats for 8 years at SA, from helping to make props, graphic and web design, administration roles, to teaching camps and classes and much more.
I now live in Longmont CO and have a bright and inspiring home studio where I manage Elle Creative, my small graphic design and and art education biz.
