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.


New! Collage, Mixed Media & Mask Making and Essential Drawing & Painting Techniques
Monday August 11 – Friday August 15, 10 AM–3 PM


Collage, Mixed Media & Mask Making: Mixing it up is what collage and mixed media is all about! Campers will have the opportunity to use a variety of supplies such as paint, patterned paper, fabric, fibers, and more. During this camp week, students will learn about shape, color, texture, and light, all while creating both representational and abstract works of art. Our culminating project will be putting these skills together to create amazing papier-mâché masks!

Essential Drawing & Painting Techniques: This camp is perfect for the student looking to develop the foundational skills of drawing and painting. Campers will use their observational skills and gain familiarity with diverse media such as graphite, charcoal, acrylics, and watercolors through drawing exercises that may include gesture drawings, blind contours, and contour drawings. Linear perspective, color theory, and building form with light and shadow will also be covered as campers render their artistic creations.
