Camp FAQs
Why enroll in our camps?
Studio 4 Art's mission is to give children a voice through art-making. No other curriculum allows a child to explore, from the point of the unknown to a point of completion, learning art techniques while working through mistakes and problem solving, resulting in higher self-confidence, curiosity, awareness, and leadership skills. This preschool camp is geared to gently introduce young artists to many art materials, exploring, and processing all that art offers.
Studio 4 Art is unique in its teaching approach to all art projects and introduction to art materials. Our curriculum is progressive, child-initiated, and thought-provoking. Studio 4 Art creates and writes all curriculum, training our teachers in our philosophies and procedures. How to teach the whole child and honor each as the individuals they are is a pretty special way of teaching. We provide growth in children through honoring ideas, executing dream designs, guidance through questions to engage problem-solving, build creative thought processes through mistake-making, and celebrate collaboration.
What will my child do on a camp day?
Preschool camp is about explorations. We will create outside, inside, we will dabble in sensory projects, art projects, and lots of fun. This camp is not about the project as will focus on the process to encourage these young artist to continue loving art!
How many children are in each camp?
8 preschool campers per week
The clay items my child makes, are they food safe?
If your child is making artwork that is meant to eat out of (cup, plate, bowl, etc.) their work is food and microwave safe.
Does the paint wash out of clothes?
Most generally, no. We are a fine art studio and want our students and campers to experience true and traditional art materials. We know from experience it makes a big difference in their excitement when they see how vibrant and rich colors are and how the consistency in fine art materials differ. Please wear art clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We do have aprons but they don’t always cover.
Do you offer sibling discounts?
We are not able to offer sibling discounts
What art materials will my child work with?
Depending on the theme of the week, clay, paint, printmaking, drawing, mosaics, cartooning, sewing, recycled materials, and mixed media are just a few examples. We are a true art studio working with all visual art materials. Our teachers are trained and have experience with all art mediums.
