New! Portrait Drawing and Revamped Fashion Camp
Monday, August 17 - Friday, August 21, 10 AM–3 PM

New! Portrait Drawing: Want to improve your people-drawing skills? This camp is for artists at any level who want to jump into the world of portraiture. We will learn to draw the head from every angle, identify the planes of the head, and capture the likeness of any subject. Possible projects include self-portraits and celebrity portraits. We may even dip our toes into the art of caricature and life drawing! Campers will be working in a variety of mediums, including graphite pencils, charcoal, and colored pencils.

Revamped Fashion Camp
:
Dive into the world of fashion, exploring inspiring designers, standout historical looks, and the creativity behind recycled design. Campers will have a chance to sketch fashion ideas as they make mood boards to help fine-tune their fashion vision. Campers are encouraged to bring in a piece of clothing or two that can be revamped and made into something expressing their unique style. Multiple sewing and embellishing techniques will be covered while we create wearable art! Perfect for budding designers who love color, texture, and imagination—this camp is where fashion truly comes to life!
