Created by professional art educators with
the developmental needs of campers in mind, Virtual Art Camp includes a well-balanced mixture of live virtual instruction and off-screen time.
About the Course:
Activities vary, and may include drawing, painting, sculpture, print-making, and mixed media, as well as friendship-making and play time. Small group sizes ensure that campers receive high quality instruction and individual attention from their teachers while making exciting, hands-on art projects.
Expected Outcomes:
Campers will develop openness and skills in trying new ideas, materials, methods, and approaches in making works of art and design; expand problem solving and social engagement skills; increase understanding of themselves and gain self-reliance and self-confidence.
