Ages 12 -16&lt;br&gt;
$240*&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The human face and figure is a fascinating study but can seem intimidating at first. In this workshop, we help demystify this process with preliminary drawing exercises. Artists will also enjoy looking at dynamic poses, explore interesting compositions, and examining different angles: profile view, 3/4 views, and non-traditional angles. Finally we will creatively play with extreme close-ups and action poses to give our subjects a realistic feel. Are up for a challenge and having some creative fun?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All material fees are included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The human face and figure is a fascinating study but can seem intimidating at first. In this workshop, we help demystify this process with preliminary drawing exercises. Artists will also enjoy looking at dynamic poses, explore interesting compositions, and examining different angles: profile view, 3/4 views, and non-traditional angles. Finally we will creatively play with extreme close-ups and action poses to give our subjects a realistic feel. Are up for a challenge and having some creative fun?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All material fees are included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;*plus $4 processing fee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Each day the children will listen to a story and create a piece of art based on a lovable character and their adventures from the story. Have fun figuring out why the caterpillar is always so hungry or why the baby bird thinks his mother maybe a cow. If you love to read, draw, listen to stories and want to create some of your own this camp is perfect. If you would like to rework or add to some familiar tales join us for some summer time reading and creating fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All material fees are included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
This is not your ordinary art camp! Off the Wall Art invites kids ages 9–13 to discover what happens when creativity goes sideways—literally. From drawing with both hands at once (bilateral drawing) and blind contour drawing (without even looking), to spinning canvases into motion-blur and pendulum painting, campers will dive into the wild world of art-making that gets a little "sciency" at times. We will explore how agents interact with art mediums such as watercolor, and oil pastel, as well as paints that puff and fizz. Expect surprises, experiments, and a whole lot of “Whoa, that actually worked!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All material fees are included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This is not your ordinary art camp! Off the Wall Art invites kids ages 9–13 to discover what happens when creativity goes sideways—literally. From drawing with both hands at once (bilateral drawing) and blind contour drawing (without even looking), to spinning canvases into motion-blur and pendulum painting, campers will dive into the wild world of art-making that gets a little "sciency" at times. We will explore how agents interact with art mediums such as watercolor, and oil pastel, as well as paints that puff and fizz. Expect surprises, experiments, and a whole lot of “Whoa, that actually worked!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All material fees are included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In this imaginative camp, artists will explore how everyday objects and simple materials can be transformed into something completely new, colorful, and uniquely their own.

Projects will showcase a wide variety of techniques and textures. Artists will craft confetti bowls from repurposed materials, create vibrant mixed-media ocean paintings full of depth and movement, and design luminous faux stained-glass art that glows with color.
