This 5-day camp will focus on fostering creativity, experimentation, and hands-on learning in a supportive environment. We will go through fun painting exercises to learn about colour mixing, blending, and creating gradients. Ultimately, children will be taught the same artistic process I, and many other artists, utilize to create a painting. If your children have an interest in art, this is the camp for them! (More)
