SummerART: Studio Art Camp Session 1

To
9:00 am
3:00 pm
no camp on Thursday, July 4 or Friday, July 5

Our in-person Studio Art Camp encourages experimentation, creative thinking, and skill development in a safe, fun, supportive, and socially engaging environment with other creative kids. Campers are in age-specific groups led by our professional Teaching Artists, with limited enrollment to increase personalized attention. Classes will take place in our spacious studios and outdoors in tented classrooms on the Museum grounds.

Each session is inspired by a different theme with exciting new projects providing age-appropriate challenges for campers to explore a variety of mediums and techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, and mixed media. Supervised lunch and recess take place outside with organized games and activities. Afternoons focus on specialized instruction in a different art form, such as comic art or printmaking, so campers can sharpen medium-specific skills and develop their own unique voice for creative self-expression.  

Session 1 Theme: Under the Sea

Dive into this exciting camp and explore the aquatic ecosystems of the world through art!  Learn about marine life, create projects using recycled materials, and gain a deeper appreciation for the ocean. Take a cultural voyage through marine folklore from around the world with underwater exploration and artistic expression while gaining an appreciation for marine conservation.
