Summer 2023 Art Camps: 

This summer art camp involves lots of hands-on art making! Students will explore a mix of medias such as painting, sculpture, fibers and drawing. Each class will begin with a little activity, a game or drawing, then we will use the reaminder of the time to create individual projects and end with cleaning up. 

This is a place where students can create new projects and just have fun! Potential projects are clay sculpture, yarn weaving, watercolor scene with fun blended colors, and step by step drawing paying attention to proportion.
