Why Art Camp?

Oil painting is intimidating, messy, and expensive. But it is hands down the most versatile painting medium. The camp offers students an intensive experience to explore the medium through structured exercises in a studio environment. And it keeps the mess where it belongs - out of the house and in the studio!

What our former students are saying about art camp...

While I was at Art Camp, I learned how to apply certain textures, colors, techniques, lighting, and highlights around the elements in my work. Since then, I’ve seen vast improvements in my art and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to feel free to express themselves through their own style.

I’ve attended Art Camp since 7th grade, and Mr. Davies not only helped me improve my technique, but also taught me the intricacies of oil painting. Art Camp is an amazing opportunity, and Mr. Davies is an even more amazing teacher. I recommend this summer camp to anyone interested in painting because I guarantee you’ll have fun, express your creativity, and improve your skills!
