Art Camps
Visual Arts (SK-Gr.9): Our summer art camps provide a fun and educational experience where students express themselves creatively while learning about the elements and principles of art and design. Infusing a component of art history, students are exposed to famous 20th century artists in a workshop format as they work on art from inspiration and observation. Working independently through a variety of age-appropriate projects, students will learn new drawing and painting techniques and will proudly walk away with quality artwork.
High School Workshop (Gr.9-12): Finding your own unique artistic voice requires time, patience, and a whole lot of exploration. Our High School workshop provides youth with the opportunity to delve into the principles of design as they focus on honing in their artistry. This 15hr workshop walks students through various drawing and painting techniques while focusing on proportion, perspective, composition, and brush-stroke technique. Working together to expand each student's artistic repertoire, this workshop aims to help artists build a solid portfolio of work to be considered for post-secondary applications.
Sculpting Camp (Gr.5-12): As an art form, sculptures fill our space in a three dimensional form. By using different techniques to create relief and free standing sculptures, campers spend the week delving into the world of 3D art. Learning from the great 20th century sculptors, campers will plan and execute several sculptures using a variety of materials while exploring a variety of techniques such as modeling, molding, carving, assembling, and casting.
Intro to 2D Animation (Gr.5-12): The path to animation begins with a display of still images in sequence for the purpose of portraying action and movement. In this 15hr workshop, campers begin with drafting their very own animation sequence in the form of a storyboard. Working with artists from the field, animators are introduced to the principles of 2D movement and expression as they focus on proportion, perspective, and a story line ready for future computer animation.
