Who would have thought LEGOs are considered art? With its limited basic color options and almost always block shapes, some think they are primarily for building castles, cars and super heroes.
But don’t tell the campers in the Kelly's Kids Artistic Adventures summer program. All four weeks of the program, campers have been assembling the LEGO wall art rendition of The Great Wave by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Every Wednesday has been LEGO day and campers have been working on smaller projects to take home.
