Description
In the mornings, using organic patterns in nature and landscape scenes, you will create drawings, paintings, and more to showcase nature’s beauty. In addition, we will create handcrafts, which is perfect for those that like to be very hands-on and want to create functional art. Then in the afternoons, go deep into exploring story structure, characterization, conflict, and resolution while also engaging in fun acting exercises. This camp is all about the creative process, so parents won’t be asked to do any additional work.
Online Camp will be an immersive online experience to get creative from the comfort and safety of your home. This camp will be both a one-on-one experience with our teaching artists and a great opportunity to connect with other students with similar interest.
