This camp provides a stimulating environment for students to explore their artistic potential and increase skill development by working with a variety of materials, using the Art Institute of Chicago, surrounding architecture and public art, and current events as inspiration. Students gain skills in a wide variety of media, which may include drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting, and mixed media in addition to critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. Projects are designed to enhance both personal expression and collaborative abilities while introducing students to contemporary and historical art. Each session has a new focus so students that enroll in multiple sessions encounter all-new studio projects.
