spring break art camp
instructed by molly nelko
It's Spring Break! Do your kiddos need something to do? Enroll them in an art class at Kentuck. This class will feature 3, one-hour sessions that will focus on a different unique fine art activity.
Participants will be creating their own work while learning information about an artist that is known for working in that style.
​
Tuesday will feature Andy Warhol and screen printing. Wednesday will feature Hokusai and block printing. Thursday will feature Jasper Johns and encaustics.
​
These three art forms are a little more specific, and therefore kids often miss the opportunity to learn about and explore all they have to offer.
​
Registration includes all 3 classes.
​
This class will be located in the newly available Studio 2 which is located behind Rusty the big red dog on our campus. Look for the blue double doors in the Courtyard of Wonders!
