SVAC Summer Camp Information

Southern Vermont Arts Center is offering Children's Summer Camps - 2 sessions are available August 3-6 and August 10-13 for children who will be going into grades 2-6. $160/members; $180/non-members

Session 1: August 3-6.......Exploring the State of Vermont in Art

Learn about the history, folklore and industry of Vermont as you practice different art techniques. Learn about the art of some famous Vermont artists, including Norman Rockwell, Sabra Field and Woody Jackson. Learning about the various state symbols will provide you with a plethora of images for drawing and painting exercises. The beautiful surroundings, and all that you see, will also provide you with inspiration for projects. The week will culminate with one of Vermont's most famous icons -- some Ben and Jerry's ice cream, of course.


Sessions 2: August 10-13.....Mythical Beasts and Beauties

Explore mythical beasts and beauties throughout history and from different corners of the world. Hear some of the world's oldest and most interesting stories and learn a variety of art techniques while creating arts works inspired by them. Students will also be able to design their own fanciful creature to replicate in a 3 dimension form.


Pre-registration required and space is limited. Call Stacy Gates, Outreach Coordinator for SVAC, at 362-1405 x32 for more information.
