Young artists will engage in a variety of creative experiences, which include developing artistic skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and more. All young artists will develop the confidence they need to practice and create art. We will study an artist of the week, as well as find inspiration through a weekly theme. Young artists will enjoy an air-conditioned classroom and outdoor recess. Bring a bag lunch and dress for an artful summer experience. Students will be grouped aged appropriately. All young artists will receive individualized attention from our expert art instructors, as well as an assistant in the classroom. 

Session 1: “Boardwalk Impressions”

 July 10-14

Put on your ­flip ­flops and walk along the Coney Island boardwalk with Melinda Morgan and Bill Bell, as they transport you to the historic Brooklyn amusement park. Dip into a candy-striped carnival tent to see a show or ride the famous Cyclone roller coaster. At the end of your action packed day, imagine the fading sunset, soft wind, sand swirling & waves crashing. Study Derek Buckner’s impressionistic “Coney Island”, and learn to use impressionistic techniques to create a summery whirlwind of carnival fun and lazy summer beach days.
