Art Camp 504

This class is for students that want to build their visual arts skills across a variety of mediums. Students will work with Art Camp 504 teachers over the course of the semester, exploring creative writing and illustration, drawing fundamentals, watercolor paint techniques, mixed media collage, sculpture and more. Students will keep a sketch book and practice the techniques they learned in class with weekly creative assignments to complete at home. Our goal is to foster a love of art and creativity in our youngest campers! This is a small group class and we will take feedback from students, designing projects based around student interest.
