Summer Art Camp Schedule
Drawing, painting, creating outdoor sculptures…Summer Art Camp at Miss Jill’s Artist Studio offers week-long art fun for preschoolers, kindergarteners, elementary and middle school students. Also, for those artists who love writing, please check out the Dancing Pencil Saturday Poetry Workshop (at the bottom of the schedule).
Young artists will sample a little bit from everything on the artist’s palette: painting, watercolor, collage, drawing and mask making. For inspiration, we will draw upon our own imaginations, as well as the work of some famous and not-so famous artists.
Each student will create an artist’s journal of sketches, doodles, drawing and plans, and by week’s end have a portfolio of work from which to choose one piece for the annual End-of-Summer Art Show!
