Drawing & Painting: Light, Color and MovementSESSION 07 AMJuly 20 - 24, 20269:30am - 12:00pmAmerican Impressionism: Art in Motion



Campers gain exposure to different mediums, styles and techniques of drawing and painting, developing skills and knowledge for a solid foundation for future learning.
Students experiment with pencil, charcoal and paint while learning about shading, perspective, proportion, composition, and color theory in a fun and inspiring environment. Young artists may work from still life arrangements, create landscapes from photographs, try their hand at portrait painting inspired by the great masters, or even paint outdoors in the garden "plein air" style!
This week we step into the world of American Impressionism, where light, color, and movement come alive on the page. Explore how the masters, such as Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, and William Merritt Chase captured the energy of everyday life in their depictions of bustling streets, shimmering water, and people in motion.

This class is one week, runs Monday-Friday, and lasts 2.5 hours with a snack break outside, weather permitting. Please remember a water bottle, small snack, and wear clothes that can get messy.
Every week is different at Wayne Art Center's Summer Art Camp and class projects will change weekly to correspond with this year's camp theme -- ART 250: Visions of America.
To create a full-day camp experience, register for a different afternoon class and Lunch Bunch, our supervised lunch break in the Children's Garden.
