Art Through the Ages Summer Camp: Study the masters, strengthen your skills, and shape your own style.
Art Through the Ages is a hands-on summer program where young artists learn from master painters, explore major art movements, and create original work through guided coaching. Each week students develop 2–3 canvas pieces and a 3D project while building skills in composition, technique, and creative confidence—with daily studio time, outdoor art, and nature-based materials to spark inspiration.
