In this year's Art Camps -- sponsored by Hyundai of St. Augustine -- students will explore a variety of mediums and techniques to encourage art appreciation and critical thinking and allow students to experiment with their own creativity.

"Mixed Media Magic" - June 10 - 14 • 9 AM-noon: This summer, we're making magic! Explore the art and alchemy of mixed media by combining traditional and experimental art materials. Play with texture, color, and composition through one and two-dimensional collage. By the end of the week, you'll have a new creative skill set that is sure to enchant! (Recommended for ages 6-10 and 11-14.)

"Sketchbook Studio" - June 17 - 21 • 9 AM-noon: Grab your sketchbooks -- it's time to draw! Join the Art Assiation as students explore fun and creative drawing techniques and learn the basics. Through line, form, and texture, you'll realize the wonders an artist can create with a simple pencil! Learning about the color wheel and "rules of 3s" grid will add dimensions of color, value, and composition to make your drawings come alive and pull a viewer in! Unlock the secrets to drawing with confidence -- and you'll go home, ready to continue your creative journey, with your very own sketchbook! (Recommended for ages 6-10 and 11-14.)

"Lights, Camera, Click!" - June 24 - 28 • 9 AM-noon: Don't just take photos -- learn to make photos! This week, you'll explore the world around us through a camera lens. Learn about the basics of photography and practice the full process -- from arranging scenes to creating a compelling composition. With hands-on experience and field trips through Historic Downtown, you'll learn how to capture meaningful moments with friends. Discover the different ways to take your favorite photos from the week and transform them into a physical creation! (Recommended for ages 11-14.)
