Summer Art Camp 2023
|
Registration is now open for the Pearl's Summer 2023 Art Camps! These week-long camps invite young artists to engage their imagination as they explore different mediums and techniques. Sessions are offered for ages 5-8 and 9-12, and provide fun art enrichment experiences for kids in a small group environment. Summer Art Camp is a great way for kids to make art while making new friends!
Each week students will discover new principles of art while working with new mediums. The themes change weekly. Families can choose anywhere from one week to eight weeks. Drop-off each day will be in the museum Cobb Gallery. Campers will then head to their classrooms with their instructors to work on unique art projects inspired by the exhibition or the weekly theme – including painting, drawing, collage, and other mixed media. Guest teaching artists will visit campers each week to teach special skills and projects! |
