T eens usually spend the summer

months hanging out with friends,

working at temporary jobs, or

conscripted into baby-sitting younger

siblings, but many local teenagers find more

creative ways to spend their school break.

The LeMoyne Center for Visual Arts offers

summer camps for kids of all ages, and the

Teen Foundation program is a popular

option. Campers choose from five, two-week

sections, each focused on a different period

of art history.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Allow for the obstacle. Spendtime thinking about how you’ll handle it when it, or itscousin obstacle, finally shows up. Something will happenand it will set you back or make you late unless you dealwith it in the hypothetical first.

Education CoordinatorAlexandra Ifland saysthat one of most uniqueaspects of the Teen Foun-dations program is thelevel of instruction thatparticipants receive. “Wehave teachers who aregraduate students andthey teach at FSU. Theytake the curriculum thatthey’re getting at a col-lege level and bring it toteens at a high schoollevel.”

One of those instruc-tors is Austin Yorke. Asan MFA student at FSU,he recognizes the mutualbenefit and believes thathe has become a betteruniversity teacher be-cause of his instructionalexperiences at LeMoyne.“LeMoyne’s been a hugeconfidence booster forme. It makes the classesthat I teach at FSU a lotmore successful.”

Yorke began seriouslypursuing art in his earlyteens after he and hisfamily endured a harrow-ing boating incident thattragically resulted in theloss of lives. “I wouldprobably be an awfulperson had it not been forart. It gave me a space toreally figure out howthose traumas affectedme. It also bridged thegap between personallyhealing and, in somesmall way, helping otherswho are experiencingsomething traumatic,through art.” He wasquick to add that “artcan’t replace therapy.You should go throughtherapy and do all thethings you need to do toget well, but art through-out life can continuouslyhelp you get to that spotwhere you feel satisfied.”

Individuals seek outart for a variety of rea-sons, and these campersare no exception. Yorkeunderstands that,through this camp, theyare developing more thanartistic skills. Certainly,they gain knowledge ofart history and a workingappreciation of propor-tion and perspective, butmuch of what campersgain can’t be shown on acanvas. “They’re learn-ing communication skillsand the vocabulary of thevisual world. What I cando for them is help themsee. I can’t make themartists. I can bring themto the precipice but it’stheir choice to step offinto it.”

Maddie Forrester, 13,was ready to take thatstep. As a veteran sum-mer camper at LeMoyne,she had been eagerly

awaiting the year whenshe could participate inthe Teen Foundationsprogram because sheknew “there would bemore complicated pro-jects like oil painting,ceramics, and installa-tions.” Corinna Carroll,15, was also excited todedicate her focus toartmaking. She said, “Artis my way of self-expres-sion. I always have thingsrunning through mybrain and it’s helpful forme to get things out thereand release it.”

Campers work onnumerous projects usinga variety of media andwill go home with 8-10completed works. As animportant part of thecreative process, camp-ers engage in peer cri-tiques which providehelpful insights and al-low for greater artisticgrowth. Jada Gatlin, 15,welcomes the feedback.“Critiquing helped meout a lot. It’s like thereal world and it makesyou stronger than youalready are.” KarlyZelznak, 15, agreed andshared that “whenyou’re doing your artand other people see it,you’re opening up in away that isn’t verycommon. By showingthat part of yourself,you initiate this immedi-ate trust with everyoneelse.”

Zachary Grove, 16,had similar sentiments.Though his mothersigned him up for thecamp without his knowl-edge, he has enjoyed it.“It’s been pretty fun,learning new techniquesand meeting new peo-ple.” He found someimportant lessons withinthe practice of thought-ful critique. “We learnhow to compliment eachother on our artworksand we help each otherout. It helps later in life

to be more friendly withother people.”

Yorke knows frompersonal experience thatart can alleviate suf-fering, build connections,and amplify human kind-ness. It seems that thesecampers have come clos-er to that understandingthemselves. “Art is aboundary dissolving tool.It helps us see ourselvesas a collective society, ofone world, rather thandivided by political orstate lines.” Speakingabout these teenagers,York added, “It’s good for

them to understand thatbecause so much of therhetoric lately had beenvery separatist and veryexclusionary. I think artis the literal culturalopposite of that kind ofthing.”
