Children ages 7-11 will be introduced to a whole new set of artists this week, focusing on influential modern and contemporary artists, and create their own paintings and projects based on the styles of these incredible artists. Students will also be provided a notebook and examples of work, so that they may record notes, and ideas to help them learn more about these art dynamos, and log their own creative ideas! (Age 6 welcome, but very light writing involved)

We are so thrilled to be hosted by the Pascagoula-Gautier school district again, and this year for James and the Giant Peach!!! Students aged 7-14 will learn the ins and outs of live, stage performance with professional lighting and sound. We embrace a nurturing and supportive approach where all campers have an active on-stage role in the show, although we do welcome backstage campers who want to learn the ins and outs of costuming, set design, sound, etc - just please note that in your registration. This camp is always a highlight of the summer for our young patrons AND their parents. Carpooling from Ocean Springs will be available!

In this three day mini course, students ages 11-15 will discuss both composition and color while learning a variety of techniques to produce their own abstract acrylic and mixed media work. Perfect for students wanting to use their creative freedom to create an original piece of art.  Instructor will provide all supplies as well as Bristol paper to work on, but students may bring their own canvas if desired.

Students aged 7-11 will spend the week with Ms. Carmen focusing on integrating the natural world into their artwork. They will gather objects from the trails to use as drawing and painting tools, create eco prints using natural pigments from leaves and fruits, make handmade paper, and hike the nature trails, and keep a sketchbook inspired by the world around us. A fantastic (and fun!)  way to integrate  the local flora and fauna into art education.

Students ages 9-12 will customize the cover and keep an art journal filled with writing, sketches, ideas, and artwork. Collage, drawing, painting techniques and journal prompts will be given for this class.
