This Summer 2024, we're bringing back an old favourite: the Art Eras! Every week, we'll be focusing on a famous art movement of the 20th-21st century, and our students will get to explore a plethora of artist styles, art inspirations and techniques starting from June 24th all the way until September 6th. That's right, 11 weeks of non stop art history FUN for every single one of you! These will be available at all our studio locations: Steveston, Point Grey and Kerrisdale.
Every week is going to focus on a very important and fun art era or movement. From learning about graffiti and Vancouver mural art during Savvy Street Art week, to Pollock splatters and Mondrian primary splashes during Amazingly Abstract week, our team of talented artsy instructors will guide your child(ren) along a wonderful journey of art history, inspiration and creation!
We can't wait to share our knowledge of famous Fauvists, cool Cubists, and funky Futurists with you. There's also going to be fun favourites like Perfecting Perspective or Urban Landscapes art so it's going to be great for kid(s) who want to learn how to draw ancient to modern cities and space. We cannot wait for you to Have a Bowl of Surreal in the imaginative worlds of Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo and Joan Miro too! We've got mood boards for students to follow, wonderful prompts to create with, and at the end, students will take home an impressive portfolio of art and stories they can be proud of.
Read more in detail about our themes each week:
This is the perfect time to hone in and practice those art skills while school is out, as the schedule is set to have our students perfect the following activities: Painting Studies, Sculpture Hand Building, Fine Arts Drawing Techniques, Textile/Multimedia Arts, Science + Art Exploration, and Creative Story Writing/Reading!
Our camp days are filled with exciting and diverse artsy projects designed for children of all ages to explore, and we keep our schedule super flexible for parents. You can join one session, or as many as you can fit in your busy summer days.

FAQ
What if my child has never taken an art class before?
All the class activities are perfect for first-time art students. We have a specific curriculum for each age group/level to try and challenge themselves with.
What should my child(ren) bring to camps?
Our classes will provide students all the materials needed - woo! Students just need to wear something they're not afraid to get messy in; we have aprons but you just never know in an art studio! Please also provide a water bottle, nut-free snack and or a lunch if they're staying for 'Lunch Supervision' from 12-1pm.
Can my toddler register for camps?
We highly recommend your child be at least 3 years old for drop off camps as these are intensive and considerably long classes for most toddlers. Our schedule is super flexible, so you can try one session first to see if your child is comfortable with our classes. The recommended projects for 3 year olds are Painting Studies, or Sculpture Hand-Building.
My child is 3-5 years old, can they stay for a whole day?
We highly suggest students between ages of 3-5 take one '2-hour session' a day as these are intensive art classes. We provide a short 5-10 minute break in a session, and expect our students to be able to start and complete the project at hand.
My child is turning 6 years old this year, which age group should they join?
We suggest registering for the 6-9 group to provide a good challenge. Our instructors can offer feedback, and if the older group proves too tricky, adjustments can be made.
What if my child doesn’t like making a mess?
Try Fine Art Drawing Techniques, Science + Art Exploration, and or Creative Story Writing/Reading for mess-free options. These are classes where we will be working on pencil and ink drawing, watercolour, and paper art for ages 6 and above are less messy.
What do my kid(s) take away from 'Sculpture Hand building' class?
At Steveston and Point Grey, we will get to explore Earthenware clay that turns into Ceramic masterpieces after 2-3 weeks of drying and firing. At Kerrisdale, we will introduce Air Dry clay which is great for hand-building as well, and students will get to take home after a couple days.
What do my kid(s) take home from each class?
After each 2 or 3-hour session, your child will complete one project to take home, except for during Sculpture Hand-building class, any earthenware or air-dry clay needs more time to set. Earthenware clay work will take about 2-3 weeks to dry and fire in our studio kiln; we will email you when they are ready for pick up!
How many students will be in a class?
Our classes are structured small groups, with 8 students maximum to an instructor.
Contact us via email or phone for any questions about our camps.
We can't wait to create with you this summer!
