OFFSITE Camp: Storybook Studio: Art Inspired by Books @ Parleys Park Elementary

by

Calling all book lovers and budding artists! In this camp, we’ll bring our favorite stories to life through art. Each day, we’ll explore a new book—diving into its characters, settings, and themes—then use it as inspiration for creative projects. From illustrated scenes and character sketches to mixed-media storytelling and handmade books, we’ll experiment with a variety of artistic techniques. Whether you love fantasy, adventure, or classic tales, this camp is the perfect blend of reading, imagination, and hands-on creativity!

Ages 4-6
Camp will be at Parleys Park Elementary – more information can be found on Compass























Watercolor Techniques

by

Watercolor is not usually thought of as a bold medium. In fact, it is not always thought of as a stand-alone professional medium. In this camp we will challenge that myth using different techniques like layering washes, masking for contrast, and fearlessly applying bright color combinations. We will practice controlled, wet-on-dry painting, as well as loose wet-on-wet application for different effects.  We will also learn the importance of preparing and planning each piece in order to gain confidence in controlling the medium without compromising the beauty of its natural flow.  Ultimately, artists will come away with a new appreciation for the limitlessness of watercolor. This camp is great for teens 13-18 yr olds looking to dive into the world of watercolor! 
























Art Inspired by Nature

by

Each day campers will explore a different nature inspired art activity. From creating local bird themed memory match games to drawing favorite wildflowers, this camp is perfect for creative kiddos who admire the environment. This camp is for 6-12 yr olds.




















Creatures and Critters in Clay

by

Get ready to get your hands dirty in Wheel Throwing Camp! In this hands-on camp, young artists will learn the basics of pottery and wheel throwing. They’ll discover how to shape clay, create bowls, cups, and other fun pieces on the pottery wheel, all while exploring their creativity and learning new skills. Perfect for kids who love getting crafty and want to try something new with clay!  Kids Ages 8+ only.

Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece.

On the last day of camp, please join us for an art show to photograph work before it gets fired !
