Painting Camp (Ages 6 to 12) August

Description

Designed for curious and creative art intensive children ages 6–10, this is a unique, fun-filled week in the art studio.  Children have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of materials, techniques, and artistic styles using watercolor, water soluble graphite, and acrylics, experiment with soft oil pastels. They discover exciting ways to layer colors and textures, and develop their own creative ideas through both step by step guided and open-ended projects.  

Campers will learn about famous artists and their techniques while experimenting with color mixing, composition, pattern, and texture. They'll blend oil pastels to recreate the rich, earthy textures of ancient cave paintings, paint dreamy Monet-inspired watercolor landscapes, design vibrant symmetrical butterflies and gain a shared visual vocabulary.

There will be a display at the end of the week.  Please pack snacks for breaks, and a lunch.
