Junior Visual Arts

DO (VISUAL) ART!

Our week-long Junior Visual Arts summer camps are tailored to campers in grades 5-6 and 7-8.

Visual Arts campers will use a wide range of materials and techniques to explore the elements of art through drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture – all in our professional arts studios and spaces.

Along with hands-on creation in the studios, campers will visit the McMaster Museum of Art and sketch the green spaces and historic architecture of our beautiful campus.
