Join us for our new full-day teen summer camp: Visual Arts Intensive! Modeled after our most popular youth camp, "Creative Camp," this Visual Arts Intensive allows teen campers to explore various art mediums, including painting, drawing, cartooning, and sculpting. Our instructors provide individualized feedback and instruction to help teens develop their artistic abilities and explore new techniques, styles, and mediums.

From 9 am to 12 pm each day, campers will learn a variety of artistic techniques to create their unique works of art. They will explore different mediums such as paint, charcoal, and clay, expanding their creativity and bringing ideas to life. Additionally, they will delve into various artistic styles and movements, learning how to incorporate them into their own work.

From 1 pm to 4 pm daily, students will focus solely on core drawing techniques, covering topics like sketching, figure drawing, still life studies, portraiture, perspective, and more throughout the week. Drawing, as the fundamental skill behind all art styles, is the main focus every afternoon.

Summer Art Portfolio Prep

Personalized Attention || Tailor Made Classes || Individual Assessment

Modes : In-Person Group Classes || In Person Private Classes || Virtual Classes

These classes will provide an opportunity for your child to gradually start preparing their portfolio. We believe that young artists should start early and recognize their talent. These special 2-month classes will help them realize their strength and work professionally on them.

The purpose of this class is to teach the fundamental skills of art portfolio preparation, such as drawing and painting techniques during summer (2 sessions a week during July and August). The two-month preparatory course will help them develop creative expression. The class provides both demonstration-based learning in addition to individual guidance that will help them gear up for a more advanced level of art portfolio preparation during the fall.
