2026 Summer Art CampsStudents will explore the Wild West through art!The young artists will experience the history and culture of the Wild West through art. They will have mini drawing lessons each day. These skills will be applied to create projects throughout the week. Students will have the freedom to create their own ideas within the parameters of the projects. The elements and principles of design are introduced to the students in all the works. The artists to be studied are Frederick Remington and Georgia O’Keeffe. They will recognize their painting style, understand the historic content, and name the title. Students will have an independent project to work on during their “free time while the other students are completing theirs.
