CourseGraphic Summer Art Camp for Tweens (ages 10–12)
Monday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM
This offering is for young artists ready to graduate to the next level of Art Camp, where they will explore art media and techniques in greater depth during two daily studio sessions. Our talented teaching artists will guide tweens in developing their own personal style while they learn and refine their art skills.


Art Journaling and Drawing with Pen & Ink
Monday, July 27 - Friday, July 31, 10 AM–3 PM

Art Journaling: Art journaling is a wonderful habit for everyone! Keeping a journal that contains one’s inspirations, frustrations, and dreams is a way to creatively process everyday life. Campers will make their own journal with simple bookbinding techniques and fill its pages both inside and outside of camp. Campers will be encouraged to share their journaling journey during camp.

Drawing with Pen & Ink: From quick sketches to detailed drawings, this camp will teach campers the tips and tricks of pen & ink! Campers will explore techniques such as loose sketching, cross-hatching, and stippling as they learn to create contrast with texture and ink. We will also learn to create softer drawings using ink and a brush. Some basic drawing skills will also be covered.
