In these popular 3-day Summer Art Camps taught by professional artist and elementary art teacher, Ms. Shelley, kids enjoy exciting themes in a fun and creative environment as they discover, play, and learn fine art techniques. Artists (ages 5-11) will design several wall worthy masterpieces as they paint on canvas, create with clay, and other exciting mixed media art materials! Attend one or try them all for an immersive art experience (if attending morning and afternoon camps please pack a nut-free, easy to eat lunch for a picnic break from 12-12:25!) Seats are limited!
Weekly Art classes are simply the best as my West Knoxville Art Studio is happily busy with colorful paint moving on canvas, clay taking shape, and creative kids making amazing masterpieces they are excited to show their parents and take home!
As an Artist and Teacher, I enjoy making new and exciting lessons and always look forward to seeing what my students create while providing a fun, safe, and "ok to make a mess space" for that to happen!
