Camp Update
Our fall camps are buzzing with creativity and imagination!
In Monday’s Wire Art Camp, young artists have been busy twisting, bending, and shaping wire into incredible creations! They began by crafting wire baskets to build a foundation in wire arts—learning how to form structure, balance, and stability with this flexible medium. Next came wire-and-mixed-media spiders, inspired by the fall season and all the tiny creatures we see around us. Students also experimented with air-dry clay and wire, discovering new ways to combine materials and express their ideas.
For our final week, campers will bring it all together by finishing their wire animal masks and creating a wire self-portrait—a playful and imaginative way to bring personality and creativity to life in three dimensions!
Our Wednesday Drawing Camp artists have been on an exciting journey exploring how artists see and draw the world around them! Through playful exercises like blind contour drawing, drawing with both hands, and continuous line drawing, students are developing the habits and mindset of artists.
They’ve experimented with a wide range of drawing tools—charcoal, pastels, metallic and glitter pens, Sharpies, and, of course, the trusted pencil—and even created drawings using marbles and ping pong balls! The studio has been filled with laughter, curiosity, and creativity.
For our final week, artists will bring all their learning to life with a mixed-media landscape, combining their favorite techniques and materials. They’ll finish off with a free drawing of their choice, a perfect way to showcase their imagination and individual artistic voice!
