Class Experience
If your child loves to draw and paint and wants to learn more, this is the perfect camp!
Children learn drawing and painting at the foundational level while experiencing the joy of drawing what they love. We're a Summer camp, so we will have lots of games and Summer fun!
Wonders of Summer focuses on learning to draw the things children love about the Summer season. It may be animals and birds seen only in the summer, zoo animals, playing summer sports or visiting the beach at vacation. Weather permitting, we will venture across the street to the park and draw their amazing wood statues!
We include instruction on composition, 2-dimensional lines and shapes, color theory, and techniques for creating exciting artworks. We explore various art mediums including graphite drawing pencils, color brush pens, watercolor pencils, tempera paint and other art mediums that help students to learn and produce accurate and exciting artwork.
This is truly a unique camp, so we hope to see you there!

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.
