OurKids.net lists camps and programs in dozens of cities across the country. Find your city in the list below and find a kids camp teaching visual arts near you.
If you love visual arts, there are many different ways you can indulge in this passion. See other options below:
Here’s an overview of what’s taught in visual arts camps. Consult with individual camps and programs above to learn specifics of their programming.
Visual arts fundamentals. In each visual arts discipline, children learn a set of fundamental artistic principles. Across all of them, though, they develop an understanding of composition, perspective, and use of colour. They condition their eyes to focus on detail, becoming better visual learners and observers. These skills are applicable to many different art forms.
Visual storytelling. Instructors educate children on the proper ways to introduce character, setting, plot, commentary, and symbolism into their work, especially in specific fields taught in cartooning camp or filmmaking camp. The practice of visual storytelling allows kids to express and explore their unique perception of and perspective on their world.
Creative problem-solving. Making mistakes is part of the creative process. Through trial and error in the freeform structure of camps teaching the creative visual arts, kids develop creative thinking and problem solving. Collaborating with peers, kids learn to compromise, improvise, and continually improve their personal creative process.
Visual arts offers kids many benefits, while interest in this field is unfortunately downplayed in our culture. Here are great reasons why you should send your child to the camps listed above.
Aesthetic and creative development. Aesthetic development is “the emergence of the ability to appreciate and critically evaluate art”. Visual arts camp deepens their appreciation of art, feeding their creativity. The art appreciation kids gain from camp encourages their appreciation of beauty in the real world–very important! The creative edge they gain in camp is also applicable in practical pursuits as diverse as engineering and coding, career choices they may make later.
Improved academic performance. Skills learned in camp include the ability to analyze and critique art, construct stories, and creatively problem-solve. These skills can be applied to other academic subjects such as English as well as arts subjects.
Build a portfolio. Visual arts camps prepare aspiring visual artists for post secondary school. Emerging artists will learn the fundamentals of their art form and create materials that fit into a portfolio that demonstrates their range and unique artistic style.
Find an artistic niche. Visual art camps listed above offer a diverse range of disciplines for kids to explore and experiment with. Kids identify which art form they’re most comfortable with, and feel best suits them.
Improve fine motor skills. The hands-on nature of visual arts disciplines helps refine children’s motor skills. They learn precision and develop dexterity.
Here are questions to help parents and kids explore different camp’s specializations and focuses, to discern which is the right fit for them.:
Visual arts is, of course, a broad subject with many subdisciplines. Here’s a look at even more camps and classes that encourage you to dive in deeper into visual art forms (aside from types linked to above).
Arts and crafts camps are ideal for younger kids who want to try out a variety of creative tasks in the freeform setting of camp.
Drawing camps focus on sketching and drawing, allowing you to develop a portfolio in this area. You can also find drawing classes for kids on our site.
Painting camp offers mentorship in media from watercolour to oil and acrylics. The camp environment adds an extra layer of fun.
Photography camp focuses on this long-standing art form that’s found new life in the age of Instagram.
Film and video camp is the perfect place for anyone from anyone from aspiring directors and video journalists who want to explore the art of film.
Video game design camp encourages kids to mix knowledge of the visual arts with media and technology. Children use computer software to develop playable and visually appealing games.
Fashion design camps and fashion design courses explore this world that also relies on creating designs on paper. Youthful fashion designers take their understanding of shading, composition, and apply it in this area.
You can also find camps focused on other specific disciplines like sculpture, pottery and ceramics, and even knitting and crochet.
