ART IN THE REDWOODS: SUMMER ART CAMP 2019
Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center offers the premier Summer Art Camp in the San Lorenzo Valley, the heart of the local art world. With a long history of providing arts programming to Santa Cruz County, Summer Art Camp provides a chance for young people ages 7 – high school to survey different artistic movements and develop their own craft. All levels are welcome—the only requirement is a sincere interest in the visual arts! Summer Art Camp is held at the Art Center’s 9341 Mill St. location in Ben Lomond, equipped with a studio classroom, gallery, and offering a wide range of art classes with our talented and creative instructors, most professional artists in diverse fields.
Our goal is to provide campers with opportunities that build self-esteem through art and friendship. We also provide campers with a variety of experiences to explore their artistic creativity! Students work on individual and collaborative projects in disciplines such as painting and drawing, cartoon art, ceramics, printmaking, and art-meets-science (STEAM) classes. Students will learn to feel comfortable expressing themselves artistically and within a group setting. Campers will have an opportunity to participate in critiques, and learn how to present and discuss their work.
