Summer Morning Camp

from 9:30AM to 12 Noon Tuesdays-Thursdays

COST: $175 Per week includes all materials.

During the summer morning camp we will focus on a single area of art and create artwork portraying what we have learned.  These classes are for children ages 6-10 (or with permission) who are serious about their artwork and would like to spend their mornings creating in an intimate studio setting with friends.  We will be learning techniques and skills in each area that they will be able to use beyond the class.  We will also have a lot of fun.  There is a maximum of six students per week.  Sign ups are per week and you may sign your child up for as many or few weeks as you like.

Week 2 Paint A Canvas July 17, 18, &19

The second week of camp will be spent with acrylics painting a canvas. On the first day we will sketch out our ideas and draw them onto our canvas.  The second and third days will be spent working with the acrylic paints, focusing on color and form.

Week 3 Still Life & Portrait Painting  July 24, 25 &26

Our third week will focus on still life painting.  We will learn all about the face and body and use it to create drawings and paintings.  By the end of these three days, your camper will be confidant in drawing the human body.

Week 4 Create a Shrine July 31, August 1 &2

In week four we will create a shrine out of a cigar box.  Each child will choose a theme for their “shrine” and then paint and embellish the box based on their ideas.
