Download the Summer 2009 Camp Catalog
Each summer throughout July and August, the Somerset Art Association offers its popular Art Discovery Weeks for children ages 6+. The week-long sessions offered as both half and full-day classes are designed to stimulate and encourage exploration and creative expression by making art fun for children in a safe, welcoming environment.
Each week, imaginations soar as different, kid-friendly themes are explored. Adventures in Neverland, Pal Around With Picasso, Oceans of Art, Blast-Off, Calling All Artists and the ever-popular Cartoon & Comic Book Workshop are just some of the topics offered in past years. Regardless of the theme, kids are allowed every opportunity to explore a variety of mediums including paint, oil pastels, watercolor, clay, charcoal, color pencil, paper mache, collage and more. Children need only bring a smock and a smile as all supplies are provided in the cost of each Discovery Week.
Summer camps are announced in SAA’s spring brochure with registration on-going throughout the summer (please note however that the camps fill quickly, so if possible register early to secure your spot!). For children who are younger than 6 years old, SAA provides summer art classes for these ‘petite Picassos’ in addition to classes designed for teens age 12+ (these courses are listed in SAA’s summer catalogue only).
To learn more, call the SAA office at 908-234-2345 to request a course catalogue or send an e-mail with your address to somersetart@somersetart.org to be added to SAA’s mailing list.
