In keeping with the theme of "Space Cat," — which was created by Will Croff — the students created "Meowtown," a cat-inspired city where every building had whiskers.-inspired city where every building had whiskers.
Students enjoyed the museum's first ever Imaginarium Summer Camp.
Imaginarium Camp students bonded over their own creative camp fire.
The creators of "Meowtown," didn't say whether or not they had any future plans to turn Ormond Beach into a cat-themed city.
Rather than create the traditional art camp projects — such has paintings, macaroni art and pottery — the students of Imaginarium created Walter, an invisible triangle friend), told stories about the "Chronicles of Space Cat," and even designed a cat-themed city called "Meowtown," where whiskers would be present on every building.
I think it's safe to say the Imaginarium is no ordinary camp.
Created by the Ormond Memorial Art Museum's Curator of Education and Outreach Kristin Heron, the weeklong camp was a chance for kids to
explore different things other than traditional visual art and excerise their out-of-box thinking skills.
"They did a lot of things where they had to work together and come up with creative solutions, which relates to everything in life," Heron said. "A few were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but at the end everyone was participating."
