Art Camp for Grades 6–8 – Creating Value in Art

Visual Arts Building

Grab your pencils and charcoal and spend time creating with Franke Park art teacher Rachel Gillespie. Campers will explore how to create value through a variety of shading techniques while working on portraits, still lifes, and landscapes—both realistic and imaginative. Working in the studio and outdoors in nature, students will discover how light, pressure, and different drawing media come together to create striking grayscale works of art.


Monday, July 13–Friday, July 17                1–3 p.m.
Purdue Fort Wayne Visual Arts Building Room 209
