Creative Painting & Texture Art Camp
For Ages 7 – 14

Get ready for an artistic adventure this summer! In this dynamic and hands-on art camp, campers will dive into the world of painting with traditional acrylics on both canvas and heavyweight paper. Each day, they’ll explore new techniques and styles to create stunning, textured artwork that’s bursting with creativity and fun!

Throughout the camp, campers will focus on different themes each day, guiding them through a variety of exciting projects. Whether it’s experimenting with bold shapes and dynamic patterns or layering materials for texture using collage and stencils, they’ll have the opportunity to expand their artistic skills in exciting ways. The use of texture will add depth to their artwork, encouraging campers to think outside the box and engage in multi-dimensional creative expression.

This camp is perfect for beginner to intermediate artists who are ready to explore the magic of painting and the creative process in a supportive and fun environment.
