This exciting program is carefully designed with promising young artists ages 5-13. Students attend classes for three hours each day with a break for refreshments (provided by River Oaks). Summer Art Studio is held in the Studio Annex Building of River Oaks Square Arts Center. Each camp session incorporates projects using a variety of media. There will be ceramic projects, painting projects, acting, etc. During Sessions 2-4 every student learns basic ceramic procedures like pinch, slab and coil methods of construction, and returning students jump right in and start creating. Session 1 has cooking instead ceramics due to the time constraints of this one week session.
The last day of each session there is a bonus attraction. These are themed days that campers dress-up, do theme day art projects, studio group challenges, and finish the day with a party.
The studio group challenges instilled all the benefits that come from team building - Team work, communication, leadership, confidence, responsibility trust, respect and create a unique culture at camp.
Our ceramics and painting studios are modern and fully equipped. Our instructors are working artists and art educators, selected based on their history of successful projects and programs with local youth. We are certainly excited about the upcoming summer sessions and hope you choose to send your young artist to Summer Art Studio for one or more of our unique camps.
