FINE ARTS MINI-CAMP

Join local artist and art instructor CYNTHIA WATSON to learn and explore in this cool art camp.  Activities will inspire students to embrace all the basic techniques needed to produce the latest classic, yet flashy and competitive techniques.  This exciting class will promote a life-long interest in producing art and showing it off to friends and family!  The curriculum introduces students to beginner and intermediate techniques in drawing and painting.  Students will use a variety of mediums including acrylics, watercolors, and pastels, among many others.  At the end of each camp, families will be invited to an “art exhibit” to see the masterpieces that students have created.
