APPETITE FOR ART (ages 5–9)
July 24–28, 10 AM–3 PM
Dig in! This week of camp will feature art projects inspired by delicious foods and snacks. Campers will learn several art techniques while cooking up projects like a mouthwatering clay cheeseburger and a mixed-media artwork of a breakfast skillet.

PAINTING WITH PASTELS AND SOFT SCULPTURE (ages 10–12)
July 24–28, 10 AM–3 PM
Painting with Pastels: Pastel straddles the line between painting and drawing. During this camp, tweens will be introduced to the essentials needed to draw and paint using pastels. This will include fundamentals such as drawing, light and shadow, composition, color theory, and basic perspective. Both still life and landscapes will be the subject matter for finished works of art.
Soft Sculpture: This camp takes the best of fiber arts and sculpture and merges them into a whole new art form: soft sculpture! Using textural materials such as felt, fibers, and notions, along with imagination and creativity, campers will design, prototype, and create both relief sculpture and sculpture in the round. Being able to sew is a bonus—but not necessary! —since multiple methods of soft sculpture construction will be covered. Tweens will create several projects ranging in scale over the course of the week.

 NEW! FASHION & FABRIC DESIGN (ages 10–12) WAITLIST ONLY
July 24–28, 10 AM–3 PM
NEW! Fashion & Fabric Design: Spend the whole week focusing on one medium! Tweens will have both a morning and an afternoon session focused on fashion and creating with fabric. In this full-day camp, tweens will explore fashion design starting with sketching concepts and progressing to fabric exploration and learning how to embellish already existing clothing items. Multiple sewing techniques will be covered while tweens create wearable art. Campers will have the opportunity to create their own fabric using dying techniques, sew a simple garment, and design and embellish their own t-shirt.

NEW! PAINTING WITH ACRYLICS (ages 10–12)
July 24–28, 10 AM–3 PM
NEW! Painting with Acrylics: Spend the whole week focusing on one medium. Teens will have both a morning and an afternoon session learning how to paint with acrylics. In this camp, teens will learn how to block in a composition and see it come to life as they add paint to their canvas. They will learn the fundamentals of painting, including brush techniques, how to create light and shadow, and color mixing. Teens will also learn how to handle the materials properly. Students should wear clothes that can get messy—acrylics don’t wash out of clothing!

HALF-DAY DIGITAL SUMMER ART CAMP: DIGITAL GRAPHIC DESIGN
July 24–28
Tweens (ages 10–12), 10 AM–12:15 PM
Teens (ages 13+), 12:45–3 PM
From cereal boxes to posters to social media, graphic design is everywhere. It is a way of communicating using line, shape, color, space, and more to share information and ideas through art. During this week of camp, campers will learn to think graphically by exploring page layout, typography, and marketing. The week will start by using traditional drawing skills to sketch out ideas, then campers will learn to translate their ideas to the computer using Adobe Photoshop.
