Students learn about in-camera control. Learn about the functions in your camera while in automatic and manual settings. Each day students show photographs on a projector and then discuss new techniques. Students go out in the field and take photos with the instructor during class exploring beautiful Park City. Students will either walk to local destinations, or will take city transit to visit the White Barn or other picturesque places. Students will have a small collection of photographs that tell a story by the last day of class, plus the skills and knowledge to continue on their own. This is a great way to have students learn to take awesome summer photos. No cell phone cameras, please.

Intro to Watercolors for Teens
There is so much to learn when creating paintings in watercolor. Learn and have fun with Anna as she teaches students how to paint with watercolors using water resist techniques with tape, salt, and oil pastels. Every lesson is a happy experiment, and the students love the amazing results! Come and enjoy a relaxing watercolor class with Anna!
Acrylic Painting for Teens
Learn how to see with a painter’s eye as Emily uses still life sets to teach the basics of acrylic painting. Students will learn to see what an artist sees, exploring positive and negative space, values, color theory, and composition. This class is open to any skill level and can serve as a review of the basics or a confidence booster for beginners! Students will walk away from class with more experience and confidence to continue painting on their own.
Shadowbox Worlds for Teens
Teens will think outside the box, and inside the box! Students have fun creating 3-dimensional worlds in shadow boxes. A diorama is magical because it tells a story about the artist. Students will pick a theme (i.e. a dream, a movie, a painter, or a place) and using papers and collage materials, will learn how to layer and create perspective inside their mini worlds. Big imaginations are required for this class!
New Perspectives: Drawing & Painting for Teens
Beginning with the basics of landscape, students will then expand upon what they see. Stretching the imagination, students will deconstruct the natural surroundings they observe in reality. From cityscapes to mountain ranges, students will play with combining horizon lines to make a new, imagined landscape. Students will also examine images “under a microscope”, taking an object from nature (feather, stick, rock, leaf etc.), and taking a closer look to focus on the amazing details of the natural world. Perhaps try to draw the world upside down to test the mind and train the eyes to see the new shapes that form. We will challenge the norm and experiment with new perspectives.
7 Artists, 7 Countries
Dive into the history of art and learn about 7 famous artists from 7 different countries. Each day students will explore the works of Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dali, and Keith Haring. Students will be emulating the styles of these artists through drawing, painting, and sculpture.
