Back by popular demand is our unique Feathers & Fur art camp! If your child loves birds and animals, this is the perfect camp. Kids love to draw animals and our unique drawing camp is a great way to learn and enhance drawing skills.
Children will spend a full week learning the fundamentals of drawing and painting and creating exciting artworks. Our subjects will include a mix of gorgeous birds and four-legged animals, with an array of feather types and animal fur. Campers can expect to leave camp with artworks they are proud of.
Our art instructor will demonstrate and coach campers on drawing and painting principles, color concepts. composition, line quality and techniques for how to create amazing artworks. We will explore various art mediums including graphite drawing pencils, color brush pens, watercolor pencils, conte' pastel, and other art mediums that help create an exciting drawing.
Weather permitting, we will verge outdoors to draw real-live animals that are visiting us to pose for our young artist campers. What fun and how unique!
Summer is a great time to use our imagination, create and learn in an art-immersed environment. Give your children the gift of art this summer!

About Compass Art Center
Compass Art Center is the home to THREE incredible studio art schools: The Compass Atelier (adults), Stone Branch Art Program (teens), and Young Masters Art Studio (children and tweens).
The Compass Atelier has served the Washington, DC area for over a decade with the highest caliber art instruction for adults looking to start their artistic journeys or take their hobby to a professional level. Year-round weekly classes, visiting artist workshops with some the country's top artists, and their revolutionary 3-year Master Artist Program are available for anyone to enroll.
Stone Branch has helped teens maximize their artistic ability through incredible lessons and near-one-on-one guidance. Middle schoolers have attained acceptance to magnet high school art programs and high schoolers have gotten into every top art school and university in the country through Stone Branch guidance.
Young Masters offers exceptional drawing and painting classes for children ages 5-12. Our lesson plans are developed according to the student's age and skill level. We limit the size of our classes to 8 or fewer, allowing our instructors to provide personal attention for every student. Most of our instructors are professional artists who bring their knowledge and expertise to every class. We foster creativity and imagination in all artworks to ensure students build confidence in addition to skill.
