Learn, explore, and create this summer at the VAC!
Creative teens headed into 6th-12th grades (as of fall 2025) can participate in this week-long series of classes, where they’ll take an in-depth look at the basic foundations of art and design. Students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of mediums as they are introduced to the elements and principles of design. The knowledge gained through this fast-paced course can be applied to 2D & 3D art forms, as well as the performing arts. Students will be guided through their mediums of choice as they develop their understanding of the elements of art such as line, shape, color, space, value, movement, pattern, variety and unity in their work. No art experience necessary. Each class will include instruction, creation and reflection time.
