Would you like to create something beautiful?

Students in the Explorer’s Program (ages 6-8) and our Emerging Artists (ages 9-11) will experience many different forms of visual art, including drawing, painting, pastels, jewelry creation, collage, puppet-making and sculpting in different mediums, all in preparation for an end-of-camp art show. The three-hour session will be broken up into multiple parts, exploring different art media throughout the day. For students taking multiple weeks of camp, class content will be varied to meet student interest and build on past weeks.

Students explore Colors in the Environment, Explorations on Paper, Drawing Foundations and Outdoor Sculpture and much more!

Colors in Environment
Students will explore color theory and learn basic design principles using inspiration and resources from the nature and beyond! Using paint, ink, collage, and more, we will create original artwork informed by the patterns and colors we find in the world around us.

Explorations on Paper
This course is focused on using familiar drawing tools (pencil, marker, pastel, paper) to create and share illustrations, portraits, landscapes and more. With an emphasis on storytelling, students are encouraged to come prepared with their own ideas, experiences, and sense of humor to create characters and settings both collaboratively and independently.

Drawing Foundations
Drawing foundations is dedicated to training the eye and building on the basics of drawing from observation. Students will create still life drawings from fruit and household objects, gestural drawings of figures in action, and landscape drawings from around the garden. We will develop a set of practices that will be useful in all future art projects.

Sculpture
From clay to wire to paper to found objects to fabric – 3D art will be explored throughout the week with a variety of mediums.
