About this event
Mini Art & Craft Camp with Vee No school? No problem! Join Vee for Mini Art & Craft camp! Half or full day mini camps available. Mornings: 3D Arts & Crafts. Mornings are about breaking free from flat, basic artwork on paper and making pictures that truly come alive. We explore layering techniques that give canvases and drawings real depth, texture and dimension — building up surfaces, adding raised and mixed-media elements, and learning how to lead the eye and shift focus so a piece has movement and a sense of place. Afternoons: The Creativity Hack. Afternoons are where we dive into how art actually works. We explore how something might look or be drawn, and the clever, playful “hacks” artists use to get the same striking effects — the shortcuts, tricks and techniques that make a picture come alive. We experiment with abstract art techniques, discover different ways to capture and reimagine what we see, and pick up real skills that children can build on and carry into everything they make. Ages 7 – 13
