ART WARS!
MAY THE ARTS BE WITH YOU
Bold. Funny. Magnificent. Weird. Silly. Gross. Beautiful. These are just a few words campers might use to describe the epic battle between the galaxy of art styles we’ll be exploring this year at The Art Station – Big Shanty. Campers will then apply what they have learned to their very own art work using a variety of media including clay, drawing pencils, acrylic, tempra, watercolor, scissor work, ink, recyclables and so much more.  Registration begins March 17th.

All summer art camps are $90.00, except Mini Workshops (which are $10.00).  Please note that we are only able to accept Visa, MasterCard, exact cash, or check.

You are welcome to sign your child up for multiple sessions, just keep in mind that the curriculum is the same for ALL the weeks with a particular theme.  So, if you sign your child up for two weeks of Master Mash-ups, they will be repeating the same projects.

Also, a Hold Harmless Agreement must be filled out for each camper in each camp before the start of class.

AVAILABILITY UPDATED 01:00 AM on 6/20/11.
(Please note, availability changes frequently due to online registrations.)

MASTER MASH-UPS
Students will explore very different and distinctive styles of master artists then 'mash' two together to get a whole new style! Just think what you would get if you mashed together Picasso and Degas (Degasso) or O'Keefe and Warhol (O'Keearhol) or Michelangelo and Lichtenstien (Lichtangelo).
