Art Camp #1

In this camp, students will be introduced to the basic building blocks of drawing and painting. They will learn to build complex objects out of circles, ovals, ellipses and will be introduced to the famous "Wally the Worm." Using their new drawing skills, students will draw various animals and landscapes. On day two, they will be taught the basic proportions of the human face. Day three, they will begin to explore basic color theory and learn how to use paint. During the last 2 days of camp, students will choose a photo to draw as a masterpiece that they can frame.  All students may participate in our regular ART GALLERY SHOWS at The Apex Learning Center.  This camp has different content from ART Camp #1 and #3 so that students who have attended Camp #1 or #3 will get new material in ART Camp #2.

Art Camp #2

Students will learn the basic building blocks of drawing in the context of fun cartoons of Wally the Worm.  They will also learn how to draw people in profile.  Then in two days of painting, they will paint a beautiful butterfly and an exciting tropical panorama covering two whole pages!  During the last 2 days of camp, students will choose a photo to draw as a masterpiece that they can frame.  All students may participate in our regular ART GALLERY SHOWS at The Apex Learning Center.  This camp has different materials than Art Camp #1 and can be taken with or without having taken Art Camp #1.

Art Camp #3

In this camp, students will learn how to create entire scenes using circles, ovals and ellipses. The focus will be on drawing people and animals. They will over the first few days draw a large and colorful picture of a circus scene, using the drawing and color techniques they have learned. During the last two days of camp, students will choose a photo to draw as a masterpiece that they can frame. There will be some review of concepts learned in previous camps, but it is recommended that students attend either Art Camp, #1 or #2 or the Learning to Draw Class offered at the center in order to handle the more challenging aspects of this camp.  All students may participate in our regular ART GALLERY SHOWS at The Apex Learning Center.      

In this camp,students will learn how to draw cartoon people using a Manga style.  Day 1 will introduce the concepts of drawing including using circles, ovals and ellipses to build parts of a face.  Day 2 will focus on drawing greater detail in the face using a Manga style and stress shading.   On day 3, students will explore other cartoon type drawings.  On days 4 and 5 students will begin working on a choice of a large Manga style drawing.

Afterschool Art

Basic drawing is an introductory drawing class that will allow your child’s imagination to soar.  Each class will be given a theme to work with. Students are encouraged to experiment with different techniques and will receive one-on-one guidance as needed.  By the end of the class, your child will be able to share a remarkable piece of art with you.  Ages 5-7. 

Older students, ages 7-13, will enjoy theme based classes.  Every week students will learn a variety of different drawing concepts including shading, proportions and more.

Preschool Art

Our Preschool drawing curriculum will show your little one how to use basic shapes and colors to create an image.  Each child will learn to recognize shapes in a given picture, break it down and recreate it following simple guidelines.  With each step your child will see his/her creation emerge into a masterpiece.  Ages 3-4.

"I never felt that I could draw at all.  Anne Elisabeth was an incredible teacher who helped me draw and paint things I never thought I was capable of.  Below is a sketch I drew of my puppy - keep in mind that this was after 5 days of lessons and I had no prior experience or talent!"
