Summer Art Camp



SUMMER ART CAMP

Meaningful Words: Artful Interpretation is the theme students will explore this summer as they are introduced to the written word as inspiration for creative thinking. Poems such as Shel Silverstein’s “Backward Bill” will serve as a source for ideas that will be interpreted in imagery by making works of art through drawing, painting and sculpture. Instruction will include the use of color, line, shape and form, space and texture as it applies to the three art concentrations offered throughout the summer sessions.

All Summer Art Camp sessions will meet Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Students may choose to register for any single week, or attend all sessions for a more comprehensive introduction to the visual arts. All supplies will be provided by the Institute.
