Bass Arts Studio Summer Art camp offers children the opportunity to experiment with a variety of media in a nurturing environment which encourages each child’s individual self expression. While our emphasis is on the creative process, children are encouraged to realize their vision in the form of completed pieces culminating in an art exhibit at the weeks end.

We aim to to equip students with the technical tools they need to express and articulate their own personal vision. Children will develop their skills while learning to trust their inner creative voice and intuition.

Campers will create three art projects per week. The projects will be inspired by art from all over the world. Children will learn something about a regions art, history and culture through lecture and discussion, and by looking at examples of its art, listening to its music and art-making. Projects will include painting, drawing, mixed media collage, sculpture, printmaking and paper mache.

All students must bring a bag lunch and a mid-morning snack. Students can sign up for any combination of weeks. All materials are included in the tuition.

The Summer Arts Camp will be held at 202 Park Street in the backyard studio.
