Teen Draw Week

Service Description

Half-day camp runs from 1-4pm from Monday July 21st - Friday July 25th, 2025. $225, all materials included. Maximum 10 participants. Level up and grow your drawing skills in an art school setting during Teen Draw Week! No previous experience necessary; interest mandatory. Maximum 10 students. Throughout the week we tackle a variety of drawing projects and media including pencil techniques, charcoal and conte, pen and ink, and more, doing small studies and messy warm-ups that lead into detailed, finished pieces. We learn about value relationships, quality of line, measuring from a reference, scaling up drawings, working “general to specific”, composition, and more. Subjects include still life, animals, portraiture, landscape, and projects of choice, and include a combination of working from reference and from life. Students learn techniques and vocabulary from an educated teaching artist (me! Jaye!) doing live demos and giving one-on-one suggestions and instruction all in a bright, clean, creative space. Each morning includes 2 drawing sessions with a mid-morning break where we will walk to a local creative business (different each day). Only high-quality, artist-grade supplies are used to allow students to reach their potential. The camps also focus on how to honestly look at, talk about, and evaluate art We hang our work up on the wall at various stages of completion and look at many historical and contemporary artist references to encourage creativity and confidence. Photos are all projects we have done at the studio.
