Exploring Mixed Media: Layer By Layer (6-7s) 

Join us for an exciting week of painting, drawing, collage, and printmaking! Campers will spend the week in the studio creating a variety of projects and playing with various art mediums. In this hands-on experimental course, campers will learn about different art and media, materials and techniques. Using paint, drawing tools, and found items, they will create multiple projects and exercises. Campers will have the chance to experiment and explore different media and combining materials. This class is a wonderful way for your child to expand their skill set and find creative ways to use a variety of new and different materials.

Cosmic Collage: Snip, Rip & Stick! (6-7s) 

Join us for an exciting week of collage (2D) and assemblage (3D)! Your child will spend the week in the studio creating a variety of projects and playing with various art materials. Campers will learn about the collage process of collecting, arranging, and attaching by finding and collecting treasures, organizing them into interesting compositions and combinations, committing ideas to paper and other surfaces, and attaching them. We will explore options for adhering and learn from trial and error what could go wrong. We may incorporate other mediums and techniques such as paint, textiles, found objects, nature and more as time and attention permits.

Enchanted Fairy School (6-7s - 1/2 Day PM)

In Fairy School we will explore, create, celebrate and have fun being our most creative, magical selves. A fairy is a being who cares for nature and animals, and spreads kindness. Campers will learn about fairies and their attributes before journaling, drawing, planning and creating. They will have the opportunity to collect nature and supplies to create their very own fairy friends, gardens or houses, accessories including wands and crowns, and more. Join us for a whimsical week of fairies and magic! Campers will find ideas and inspiration to keep them dreaming and playing long after the week is over.
