Class Description

Paint, Color & Creative Expression week introduces students to the many ways artists use paint to create vibrant and expressive artwork. Throughout the week, campers will explore several painting styles and techniques while learning how color, texture, and brushwork can transform a simple idea into a finished piece of art.

Students will experiment with watercolor painting, acrylic painting, and impasto techniques, discovering how each type of paint behaves differently and creates unique visual effects. Early lessons focus on foundational skills such as color mixing, brush control, and layering.

As the week progresses, students apply these techniques to more developed projects while exploring their own creative ideas. Guided instruction helps students understand how artists use color relationships, texture, and composition to bring their artwork to life.

**Camp Guidelines**

To help ensure a positive experience for all students, we ask families to review the following camp guidelines before the first day of camp.

What to Wear

Campers should wear comfortable clothing that can get messy. Many of our projects involve paint, clay, and other art materials that may stain clothing. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety in the studio.

What to Bring

Students should bring a water bottle each day. All art materials and tools for the projects are provided by the studio.

Studio Safety

Artisan Kids Art Camp takes place in a working art studio. Students will be guided in safe studio practices including proper tool use, respectful handling of materials, and keeping workspaces organized.

All projects are designed with age-appropriate tools and instructor supervision to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Parents or approved guardians must sign students in and out each day. Students will only be released to individuals listed on the registration form with a photo id.

Please plan to arrive promptly at the end of camp so instructors can prepare the studio for the next activities.
