ART & NATURE
Let’s explore how the “design” we observe in Nature can be inspiration for our own original art pieces. By looking at the structure, colors and textures of things found in the natural world…such as trees, plants, shells and clouds… we will create drawings, paintings and mixed media works. Paint, wood, metal, glass, wire and fabric are some of the elements we will use to create art pieces for you to take home.
EXPLORING ART
Unleash your creativity and join us for an exciting week of exploration through various artistic mediums. Our immersive art camp is designed specifically for middle schoolers of all skill levels who have a passion for art or a desire to discover their artistic talents. Feel like you aren’t an “artist”, but still love to create? You will learn skills to better express your visions! From acrylics to watercolors, learn various painting techniques and create your masterpiece. Combine different mediums and techniques! Experiment with mixed media art, incorporating elements like collage, found objects, and more to create one-of-a-kind compositions. Sharpen your pencils and let your imagination flow onto paper. Explore different drawing techniques, from sketching to shading, and bring your ideas to life.
EXPLORING DRAWING & PAINTING
By joining this studio art class you will join other students interested in gaining experience in exploring various styles of drawing and painting. You will use charcoal, oil pastels, acrylic paints, sketch pencils, Prismacolor pencils and watercolor paints to create original artworks. Your art pieces will be created by working from observing objects and from your own creative ideas. At the end of our week you will take home small and large-scale art you have created.
