Young minds were able to explore their artistic sides at Art Center Sarasota with its weekly summer camps starting on June 14. 

Children ages six to 10 and 11 to 15 spent their week learning how to sketch out a sculpture design that they put together by hand with baked clay material. They then heated up their sculptures to harden and then painted to give them a finished form.
