Painting and Cartooning

THE FUN

The goal of this camp is to unleash the young artist within. Your child will be introduced to different media and will be given options to practice on variety of themes and different challenge levels but with an emphasis on acrylic painting and water color. He/She will explore various drawing techniques in different styles in cartooning in a creative and fun environment. The course will provide kids with the opportunity to learn more about the shows, games and art they love as well as create work of their own. Final art pieces will be displayed on the center’s gallery and parents are invited to tour on the last day of the week.
