Saying Goodbye to Summer (camp)…and HELLO to Fall (classes)!
With the beginning of September back to school marks the end of our summer camp season here at AAC. We had so much fun creating, exploring, and adventuring through art, and we hope you did, too! If you want to relive your awesome weeks of summer or want to catch a glimpse into what our camps are all about, look no further! We’ve compiled some of our favorite summer highlights to keep us moving to the artistic groove into autumn.
We imagined up all types of creative beasts and critters in our Fantasy Forest camp!
Buttons, Popsicle sticks, and bottle caps, oh my! In Flights of Imagination our campers turn ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art here at AAC!
Our older campers tested their paper-working and carving skills in our Intro to Printmaking class. Read about some of the techniques used in that camp here.
Campers worked individually to each create their own larger-than-life compositions in the popular Magnificent Murals camp.
Our PLAY exhibition has been the perfect pairing for camp this summer! Our campers had a blast being able to draw, discuss, and develop works based on artwork that was right outside their classroom door. Come check it out for yourself through October 11!
Our camps focused on all types of subject matter and techniques, from imagining tall skyscrapers in ink, to taking a closer look at the face that looks back at us in the mirror.
If summer camps look good then you don’t want to miss out on our Fall Classes. We’ve got weekly after school classes for ages 4-10:
Ages 4 – 6 It’s in the Details is a course that encourages your little artist to look closely at everyday and not-so everyday objects.
Ages 7 – 10 Art Trekkers will take your young artist around the globe as they learn about and create works inspired by contemporary artists
And we’re bringing back your favorite one-day seasonal workshops:
