This 5-day summer camp for kids targets age group 5 to 10 and essentially focuses on helping the kids understand the basics of pencil sketching and oil painting.
Furthermore, they understand the difference between various mediums of art, the basic mathematics and science behind art and are also able to apply their learnings to make their own artwork.
So there will be a combination of instructor suggested artwork and artwork chosen by the students themselves.
