Summer Art Camps for kids ages 6+ and for Teens take artist campers on a week-long journey into the wonderment of art play with a purpose. Our artist/teachers guide students through carefully designed projects – exciting explorations in art making. Our primary goal is to keep a young artist’s innate creativity confident as they grow. Our second goal is to present solid techniques in a wide variety of materials that develop both skill and spark creative, outside-the-box problem-solving. We also aim to address the individual needs and learning style of every student. In most kid art businesses, students copy samples only to get cookie-cutter results. Never at Studio Arts! Kids will come home with several very original pieces of art each week.

We provide filtered tap water. Please don’t bring food to the studio (unless truly necessary)

If you decide to sign up for the same camp twice this summer – know that the projects will be same, but student can certainly choose different subject matter – kinda like a working artist. . . we repeat same ideas and mediums over and over and they always come out as a unique creation!

Clay Camp

 

Clay Camp is fantastic for kids for so many reasons. Developmentally, working in clay assists hand-eye coordination and practical spacial exploration. Give a kid a lump of clay and their brain synchs up to allow inspiration and focus to flourish and grow. Our projects, a mix of some instruction on the potter’s wheel and lots of hand building, are designed with fun and learning in mind. Students will not keep all they make on the wheel as it is learning process, not a product oriented exercise. We cut pots in half to learn thickness/wetness/technique and to progress at throwing! Kids will take home two beautiful hand build projects per camp and a thrown pot or two. If you are unable to take work home on the last day of camp for any reason, please check behind the studio for up to one week after camp where it will be waiting for you.


Draw/Paint Camp A - Work from Life

Is your child always drawn to picking up a pencil?  We will ease them into comfort with painting and other media as well! Campers will draw from still life (but really COOL still life), costumed models and sometimes even a special animal guest while learning important stuff like proportion, perspective, composition and hatching/cross hatching to achieve value. They will also get a good view of how to support themselves emotionally through technical explorations AND even come out with some awesome finished work to take home! Campers will most certainly have fun and gain skills quickly through our well-proven methods. New Projects Every Year!


Draw/Paint B: Inspiration and Imagination

Why do we return again and again to this fantasy and animals as subject for this camp? Because it’s magic. Create amazing worlds through drawing and painting and a little bit of sculpture that your favorite fantasy friends – be they humanish or animal will feel right at home in. This camp really stretches out the imagination muscles. Our multi-media projects encourage campers to investigate various mixed media combos finding comfort in subjects they adore. New Projects Every Year!
