“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
-Pablo Picasso
WELCOME! Marissa’s Summer Art Camp offers a special opportunity for children aged 8 to 12 to explore their creativity and stay active as artists during the summer break. Over four days, they will learn new techniques, experiment with diverse artistic mediums, and create a small masterpiece to bring home each day. This hands-on learning experience takes place in a supportive and intimate group setting, nurturing their love for art.
Each day will start with a brief lesson, introducing the methods and materials, accompanied by a quick demonstration. We will then jump into the artmaking activity and continue learning through practice. The camp will introduce both traditional and contemporary approaches to art, including monoprint, collage, pastel, and paint. Students will receive individual guidance and support as they work, and all artistic styles will be embraced.
To ensure a conducive workspace, the class size is limited to four students. Friends and siblings are encouraged to join together, allowing kids to share the excitement through the camp. Enroll now and let their creativity shine at Marissa’s Summer Art Camp!
Day 1: Monoprint
Introduce the elements of design with a focus on LINE. Students experiment drawing interesting lines and then jump into making their very own Monoprint.
Day 2:
Collage
Review the elements of design with a focus on SHAPE. Students identify shapes used in artworks and then choose how they want to assemble their own collage.
Day 3: Pastel
Review the elements of design with a focus on VALUE and TEXTURE. Students learn basic light and shadow principles and then apply their new knowledge to a pastel still life drawing.
Day 4: Painting
Review the elements of design with a focus on COLOR. Students learn about different types of paint and then choose a color scheme to use in their own acrylic painting.
