Art Camp
Summer 2026
|
Creating Art is a fun activity... but these camps are more than just fun! Some days it gets a little messy... and we have music going and conversation and laughter. The atmosphere is almost party-like, and at the end there are beautiful works of art produced! The mindset of every student is to have fun and explore their creativity, and they also encourage and help each other! I'm usually amazed by the kindness - there's more than art being learned here. While teaching, I balance technique with creativity, and apprentice these future artists on the basics of drawing, painting and sculpture. All of the materials are provided for each project. Drawing is an activity we will work on for a part of every week. I can teach many drawing secrets that will quickly raise your child’s skill level. This will give them a lot of confidence with any of the other mediums that we work with. Besides drawing basics we will be using other dry color media such as chalk and oil pastels. We may be painting in watercolor and acrylics, and we will do sculpture in a couple of mediums. Each week we do different activities with different mediums, so if you register for 2 weeks, different lessons will be in each week These are real art materials, and we will be producing real art, not kids crafts. These classes are limited to 7 students per class. In this way I can assure you that each student will receive individual instruction. Art Camp is designed for ages 7 and up most of the activities are too advanced for a child younger than 7. Teen Workshops are more advanced work for students older than 12. Camp Schedule: Session 1: June 21 - 26 Session 2: July 13 - 17 Session 3: July 20 - 24 Possible Session 4: July 27 - 31 (needs 4 or more students) Sessions are 3 hours long, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Art Camp Has a different theme every week - I will design a curriculum specifically for the students in that class. You will receive a questionnaire beforehand. A note for students who have been in my camps before: if you've already done any of these projects it is possible for you to do something completely different, using the materials that are planned for that class. You already know that I encourage creativity and bravery. I'm excited to work with you again! Drawing, painting, and sculpture are included in every camp. We also learn art basics: line, shape, value, texture, pattern, space, and color. Teen Workshops (ages 13 and up): These are 3 1/2 -hour workshops from 10:00-1:30, with a short break for lunch.
