This fun and fast-paced arts workshop introduces young children to an exciting sampling of art media and concepts. Each session begins with a directed drawing exercise, which introduces artistic disciplines: following directions, hand-eye coordination, line, form, and proportion. After the drawing session, children gather into smaller groups to work directly with professional artists.
A mid-session snack is provided and will be followed by a story time featuring children’s literature and illustrations, which are connected to the media being taught at Arts Camp. The children’s artwork is collected into portfolios, which are presented at the final show of student work, and demonstrate each student’s individual artistic growth.

The Intermediate Arts Camp is for children and teens wishing to explore a variety of two and three dimensional art media. Students are more fully involved in the complete process of artistic endeavors. Every session begins with warm-up drawing exercises. Each day, the students will attend two different workshops each led by different artists.
This camp culminates with a positive directed critique of student-selected work. Students matte their work and prepare gallery space for their art exhibition.
