VA4: Pet & People Portraits with Laura Ruprecht
Monday Aug 2-Thursday Aug 5, 10am-Noon for ages 10-14

Explore the exciting process of creating fun portraits of people and animals! This class will focus on developing foundational techniques in painting and drawing proportion, perspective, and light/shadow. Students are welcome to bring in photos of friends and loved ones, or even of themselves to create a self-portrait!

Paramount Center for the Arts Summer Camps!
Our fun-filled camps are jam-packed with extraordinary opportunities to work with clay, painting and drawing, mixed media, glass projects and so much more!

Quick note about our 10-14 year old classes:  Our older students will enjoy the focus of our structured classes that will help them develop their understanding and techniques of the medium that they are working in.

COVID-19 Safety Precautions

We are excited to be back in the Studios this Summer for in-person art camps! Our
COVID-19 protocols will be in place to help keep your family, our teaching artists, and our staff safe:

Masks: Masks will be required at all times

Limited Class Sizes: Classes will be smaller in capacity this Summer

Dedicated Classrooms: Each class will work in an unshared space the entire week

Social Distancing: Workspaces will be distanced, and common areas will be closely monitored

Cleaning: Cleaning will happen daily in each of the studios

Please note that camps are happening Monday through Thursday this year, allowing us to dedicate time each Friday to thoroughly clean each studio before the next week’s class uses the space.

Art Show: To limit the number of people in the studios, we unfortunately will not be offering Art Shows this year. Instead, each artist will gather their work into a portfolio and will have it with them outside for pick-up on Thursday. Clay pieces will need to be fired and collected three weeks after the end of camp. We will have additional details about clay pick-up in the future.
