Students are introduced to step-by-step skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, illustration and clay! Kids practice balancing their own ideas with what they've learned to make unique artwork (not crafty stuff). Small group instruction with an Art Show on Fridays. Each Art Camp day has a different spirit theme (PJ day, crazy hair day, etc.)!

Camp Descriptions
All weeks conclude with an Art Show on Friday of your camp week!
Art Exploration
Draw, paint and sculpt with clay in this popular camp week. If you've taken it before, it’s new every week and every summer! Sign up for one, two or more! Explore skills in drawing, painting, and hands-on clay! We'll fill the week with a kaleidoscope of color and fun projects! Each day has a different theme such as nature, animals, great artists, cultural projects, "Hoppers" (free-choice time for self-directed projects like collage, paper making, and printmaking).
Clay, Sculpture & Pottery
Get your hands into clay and exercise the right-hand side of your brain! Learn basic hand-sculpting techniques (coil, slab, negative and additive sculpture) to create 3-dimensional projects in clay that will be glazed and fired. "Hoppers" stations for free-choice time available this week, along with a pottery wheel experience. No previous experience required. Clay pick-up date will be later in the summer, exact date TBA (depends on the drying time and firing schedule).
Draw, Paint & Print
Experience a variety of projects in drawing, painting, and 2-D mixed media! Each day is different, so be ready for lots of creative encounters, even if you’ve taken this camp before. Students are introduced to real fine art skills, with which they balance their own ideas to make unique artwork (no crafty-schmafty stuff). Each day has a different theme and a special day for "Hoppers" (free-choice time to explore a variety of materials like paper making, mandalas and more). Camp includes drawing, painting, printmaking and mixed media.
Manga, Cartooning & Comics
Join us for one of the only manga, cartooning, graphic novel & character design camps around! Bring your creative characters and stories to life as you learn more about character design, proportions, shading, storyline, inking cels and comic covers! Returning and advanced students will be challenged while new students learn strong basics while using pencil, ink, colored pencil, marker, and some watercolor.
