  Beauty in the Detail
  

  Submerge yourself in the endless possibilities of visual art this summer. Whether your preferred medium is 2D or 3D, students will grow and gain confidence in their artistic expression while creating new, originals works. Experiment with different techniques and methods offered by our dynamic faculty, all while expanding your artistry under inspirative pine trees. Students will explore the infinite possibilities of construction and composition alongside a diverse class of like-minded young artists.

  Adventures in Art

  Ages 9–12

  June 28-July 11, 2020
  Two-week session

  Student Art Exhibit
  Saturday, July 11, 2020 – 9:30 a.m.

  This is a summer art camp for the explorer and dreamer. Combining and flowing through mediums, from collaborative drawing and plein air painting, to mixed media collage and sculpture, students are given the space to reflect on the wonders of the world within and around us. Group discussions and prompted writing exercises support students to construct meaningful dialogue surrounding their projects. We emphasize the joy of building and exploration while challenging ourselves to engage with materials and ideas of all kinds using multiple methods of construction.

  Day student tuition: $1,880
  Lab Fee: $50
  Enrollment limited to 10 students.
  Faculty: Dani Kantrowitz
