Specialty Art

The Specialty Arts Program at Camp Eden is designed to develop artistic ability, creativity, and self expression. Twice a week, campers will receive 3 hours of formal art instruction from a qualified art teacher. Here, campers learn the fundamentals of art, encouraging students to explore and experiment with various mediums such as acrylic paint, water colour, pastel, charcoal, ink, gouache and clay. Subjects are taught using these mediums relating to art production technique. These include: still life, landscape and portraiture, 3-D, abstract style, cartooning, and more! These classes are customized to meet the skill level of each camper and provide them with inspiration and innovative ideas to enhance their skills.
