Our camps explore a variety of visual art experiences including painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and more to take children on an experiential journey where their own ideas are celebrated. Our program is open-ended and unstructured which helps children practice creativity and imagination while exploring the potential and language of art materials.
🦁 Draw Your Favourite Character (ages 5-7)
If your children love drawing, they will enjoy our fun drawing camp where we will expand our skills by learning to draw by observation or using our imagination and adding details to our artwork by using lines, shapes and other art elements. We will be experimenting with coloured pencils, markers, oil pastel and watercolour paints using the world of animals, birds, insects or book characters as our inspiration. We will draw creatures from different angles and practise creating various backgrounds and habitats.
