Painting with Acrylic and Canvas Introduction to Still life and Portraits. Art Camp. Ages 11-16
This fun filled painting class will be all about acrylic paints, still life and portraits! We will look at art history and see the different types and styles of still life and portraiture to help inspire us! Techniques of acrylic painting will be explored first along with how to draw facial features and then we will begin our paintings! If your artist has an object from home they would like to incorporate into their still life painting please have them bring it the first day! Other objects to paint into the still life will be provided as well. Please come ready, dressed to make a mess!

This class comes off the heels of Chalkfest 2020! If you and your children enjoyed that experience and wanted to give it a try - go for it! We only have 10 spots available, so book early, this class was booked up early last year! We have the same artist grade chalks as the artists did at the Chalkfest!
Chalk it Up! Summer Camp. Ages 12-16
This art camp will be all about chalk! We will learn how to blend chalk pastels on a small scale, and then take it to the big scale! First we will learn the basics of chalk and how to draw with the grid method in order to make their drawings life size! We will be doing our final piece as street artists, weather permitting! This class will be messy and will involve bending down and working on the ground for the street method portion of the class. Please dress to make a mess and be ready to Chalk It Up! If weather permits chalking outside please bring a hat, water bottle/ Gatorade, and sunscreen along with a healthy snack to keep our energy up!
