Do you often look at your child and wonder, "Who are you?" Well, let them show you their true personality through a creative outlet as they explore fun art activities in our half-day camp all week. Projects include life-size three-dimensional self-portraits, alter-ego masks, and personal story scrolls. Students will also have "open studio" time each day when they will be encouraged to experiment with different artist materials and methods including painting, oil and chalk pastels, printmaking, and mixed media collages. At the end of the week students will have a chance to showcase their true identities through an art exhibition of their camp creations in our ArtHaus gallery.
