Come discover the colorful world of illustration!
Unlock your imagination and dive into a world of storytelling through art. At this week-long summer camp led by Crystal Bridges’ art instructors, your growing artists will learn essential techniques to bring their ideas to life on paper.
From sketching characters to crafting vibrant scenes, they’ll learn fun drawing and design skills as we explore the fundamentals of illustration. They’ll discover how to use different materials and methods to add visual flair to their creations, all the while getting inspired by—and learning about—artworks in the museum galleries.
