A unique historical perspective of Art, photographic techniques and drawing.
The camp has been created in order to give the opportunity to the participants to explore

of Greece throughout the millennium.
The Art Summer Camp has been designed by the professors of Global Arts Studios
and addresses students with a desire to broaden their knowledge of the arts in combination
with a modern perspective of Ancient Greece.
The Camp is focused on photography and the students will have the chance to visit
and the opportunity to capture artistically places where Western Civilization was born
which played a very important role in the history of the Ancient world and still affects
our every day life.
The program mainly addresses students on the field of arts
archeology or the history of sciences. However other students, that love arts and would like
to engage in other artistic educational programs are also welcomed.
