with Valerie Whaley

Ages: 6 - 13
Four Day Summer Camp June 30-July 3 1:00-3:00
6-13 year olds Max 8
Art is fun when you learn to combine different materials to create original work. By mixing a variety of media and processes, artists can express themselves in ways that would not be possible with a singular approach. For example, an artist can take a photograph and then paint over part of it to create something new.
In this class students will be encouraged to mix and match! They might use some of the following in their art: watercolor or tempera paint, colored pencils, markers, crayons, oil pastels, fabric, newspaper, buttons, and yarn to create new and innivative pieces!
All materials provided including a snack.
