In recent years graffiti and street art have become increasingly more popular and appreciated by the public. Simple scrawls have evolved into detailed mural compositions. Now is the time to learn more about this exploding artistic phenomenon!
This class equips young students with the art tools and skills needed to become a creative street artist.
Kids will learn to create graffiti with the help of many mediums and techniques ending the course utilizing this new knowledge and skill to create a large canvas ‘graffiti’ to take home that includes their unique font they developed in the class. Students learn to 'tag' their name, create and use their own stencils, add wheat paste collage to their work, and even spray paint.
Students will also get a taste of creating LARGE mural on oversized plywood board in collaboration with each other. (Strict public health safety protocols will be followed). This will allow them to experience the unique way of creating 'street art' together. 

Ms. Jana Hope, the lead teacher, is an experienced artist who commissioned her services to create unique murals around Denver greater area.

One of the most exciting camps we have ever planned will be this DIY Castle Playset. Each artist will have limitless opportunities to create a castle of their dreams. Hogwarts, medieval historical castle, fairy castle, unicorn fort, the possibilities have no limits.
Wooden castle is high quality, opens up to reveal rooms, staircases and even an hidden dungeon or storage room, all waiting to be finished.
Handle in the middle of the castle makes it easily portable with an invitation for imaginative play and easy clean up.
This set will go home with wooden peg dolls your child will finish to their liking.
Whether, your artist chooses to create a play set, or art display, this will be the camp to highlight their summer break!

Join us for a trip under the sea! We'll be exploring the deep blue sea and creating sea creatures as well as the environment of the sea. Artists will use their creativity to make, paint and draw the incredible scenes of the ocean that will fit into a fish bowl. They will pose as scuba divers themselves to finish off the creative scene. Variety of material, like oil pastels, water colors, clay, shrinky dinks, and so much more, will be used to create an unforgettable camp experience.

Your artists get to decorate and furnish the house of their dreams. Maybe your superheroes need a great place to take a break when they aren’t busy saving the world. Perhaps, your unicorn collection needs a place to play. Even those army men deserve to be spoiled with their own perfect home. This isn’t just for girls. We will create miniature furniture, landing deck, or things that new tenants might find useful.
