ST. GEORGE — Young artists will have the opportunity to refine their skills — or experiment with an entirely new medium – when the St. George Art Museum’s slate of summer art camps gets underway on June 9. Registration is now open for youths ages 8-12, with four-day, 90-minute sessions to offer instruction on six different artistic disciplines, including drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking and nature art.
Parents can enroll their kids in either morning classes, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., or the afternoon sessions, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
All classes will be held Monday through Thursday at the St. George Social Hall, adjacent to the Art Museum, and will be overseen by Morgan Tew, City of St. George Education Administrative Professional. Tew hosts children’s activities — including SmART Saturdays and other multi-disciplinary, hands-on learning opportunities — year-round.
“When the weather heats up during our summers in St. George, kids love to come inside where it’s cool and get involved in fun art projects,” Tew said. “This summer we’ll be covering everything from drawing with charcoal, pen and ink, to sculpting with wire, cardboard and more. Also, young artists can experiment with entirely new art forms, such as collage, printing with plants, and making our own paints. We welcome all children, regardless of artistic ability; the only requirement is they should want to have fun.”
The cost for each camp is $55 for St. George residents; $65 for non-residents. Register online here.
