K-2nd Summer Camp: Creative Canvas: Painting and Drawing Studio

Young artists will build foundational painting and drawing skills while exploring imaginative and playful projects that go beyond traditional paper-and-pencil work. Students will experiment with watercolor, acrylic, resist techniques, mixed surfaces, and creative mark-making while developing confidence in artistic expression. This camp’s focus is on both skill-building and creative exploration. 

Our young artists will:

• Combine painting, drawing, and resist media to create unique artwork

• Learn foundational brush and color techniques

• Use prompts to spark imaginative drawing

• Stand, stretch, and sweep color across the walls in big, expressive gestures 

• Use gelli plates as a printmaking method to create colorful, layered artwork

The week concludes with a special exhibition for families on Friday from 12:00–12:30pm at the EAC, where students’ creations will be on display.
