Frequently Asked Questions

What is the camp size?

Our camps typically maintain a small size, accommodating a minimum of 3 kids and occasionally reaching up to 12. When enrollment exceeds 8 kids, we usually bring on an assistant to ensure personalized attention.

How does payment work?

To secure a spot for a specific week, a $20 deposit is required. This waitlist allows us to manage camp size for the best possible experience. Once we reach the minimum number of students, we will send a purchase request for the remaining balance. Availability can change rapidly; some weeks may fill up quickly while others may have last-minute openings. You are free to select any number of weeks for enrollment.

Are camp tuitions refundable?

At The Art Studio, we understand that circumstances can change, and you may need to know whether camp tuitions are refundable; we strive to maintain a fair and transparent policy that respects the needs of our families while ensuring a quality experience for all participants.

What project will my student complete?

The focus of Traditional Art Camp is to engage students in one primary project that will take up approximately 10 hours of our 15 hours together, allowing each student to select their own unique project. This means that every student’s experience will be distinct, resulting in a variety of creations such as sculptures, oil paintings, or drawings. Younger participants typically work at a faster pace, which may lead them to produce additional pieces. In Digital Art Camp, students will document their daily work through photography and compile these images into a short animation that showcases their artistic journey throughout the week.

Are snacks provided?

Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks and drinks as we provide a hot and cold water cooler for their convenience. Additionally, every Thursday is donut day, where students receive a delicious donut to inspire their still life drawing or painting, which adds a delightful twist to their creative experience. Please let us know if there are any food restrictions we should be aware of.

What is the Art Show?

On the final Friday of each camp week, our students showcase their artistic journeys in an exciting art show, celebrating the culmination of their hard work. We take great pride in watching them transform their initial ideas into completed masterpieces, overcoming challenges along the way. While there may be obstacles, the process is filled with enjoyment as we collaboratively explore solutions. The art show not only highlights their creations but also gives each artist a platform to express their unique voice, leaving me continually impressed by their talent and dedication.

What is the studio environment like?

The Art Studio provides a dynamic working environment filled with a variety of supplies for students to explore and experiment with. We encourage all students to maximize their experience by trying out different art forms and mediums as they work on their projects. Opportunities include creating self-portraits, drawing still life donuts, engaging in watercolor sessions, and participating in life model drawing. Students are invited to experiment with a wide range of materials, such as markers, watercolor, pastels, oil paint, charcoal, graphite, Sculpey polymer clay, and acrylic paint. Each week, the unique energy and rhythm brought by our students inspire us to stay adaptable, ensuring a delightful and enriching experience for everyone.
