Children can channel their inner artistic expression through taking part in Children’s Art Place Camp.
Several sessions, to be held inside Westview Elementary and Apison Elementary schools, begin June 4 and run through June 29. Enrollment is still taking place and slots are open for rising kindergartners through rising eighth-graders.
Students accept their art medals at Children’s Art Place Camp. The children’s artwork is placed in a smaller-size version on a medal for them to wear around their neck as a reminder of the great work they completed at art camp.“We are the only camp that offers this much artistic variety in the Chattanooga area,” said Children’s Art Place Camp Director Jennifer Strickler, a resident of East Brainerd who teaches art after school year-round at East Hamilton-area schools. “The campers complete a lot of artwork. You have plenty of art to decorate your walls when your child comes home.”
Young artists can choose from six different styles of art camps or attend multiple ones.
For those who can’t decide, the Art Sampler Camp is designed for new artists looking to try their hand at a variety of styles. The sampler sessions teach acrylic painting on canvas, soft pastels, weaving, clay, watercolor, mosaics, mixed media, mask making, metal-embossed art and more.
