CourseGraphic Summer Art Camp for Teens (ages 13+)
Monday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM
Teens ages 13+ will gain an in-depth studio art experience that engages their creativity and enhances their skills. Each week, teens will concentrate on two focus areas during their studio sessions. Small class size enables our talented teaching artists to take a deep dive with teens to build their techniques and individual styles.
 
 
Paper Art and Painting with Acrylics
Monday, July 13 – Friday, July 17, 10 AM–3 PM

Paper Art: During this week, campers will make art using a variety of different kinds of paper. Campers will learn to fold paper, use pulp to paint, explore quilling techniques, collage with printed material, and build sculptures with paper. We will also learn how to use paint, fibers, and other materials to enhance their paper creations.


Painting with Acrylics:
Have fun exploring this versatile medium. Campers will learn how to block in a composition and see it come to life as they add paint to their canvas. They will learn the fundamentals of painting, including brush techniques, how to create light and shadow, and color mixing. Campers will also learn how to handle the materials properly. Campers should wear clothes that can get messy—acrylics don’t wash out of clothes!
