Premier Art and Ceramics Summer Camp in New Jersey

Close to Flemington, Clinton, and Bridgewater in New Jersey, our art and ceramics summer camp is a unique summer camp experience for kids and teens. Students learn in a setting that is part summer camp and also has the feel of an apprenticeship program in a fun and friendly atmosphere. At Diving into Art and Explore Ceramics each student has an easel and works with acrylic paint in the morning. There are classes that introduce and reinforce the fundamentals of drawing and painting so each student is improving in his or her technique.

After lunch there are a number of electives students can choose from such as anime drawing and learning the techniques of masters such as Picasso, Renoir, and Georgia O’Keeffe. In the afternoon,, students also have the option to explore watercolor painting. All of the student’s work is then displayed at our “Works-in-Progress” exhibit at the end of the week for family, friends, and the public.

Later in the afternoon, there is an additional elective, Explore Ceramics, where students learn to create works using clay. Students will use hand building techniques as well as the potters wheel. Once their work is done everything is sent to our kiln. You will be amazed at the results!

Diving into Art Faculty Meeting, Summer Camp 2024, Bridgehampton

Just wrapped up this morning a great meeting with our faculty for our Diving Into Art summer art camp in Bridgehampton happening this July 2024. We talked about a couple things.

1. Fundamentals of Painting and the best way to strengthen them.

We decided that our morning fundamentals class should be divided between drawing and illustration and then a separate part of the class should focus on still life.

2. Electives

We brainstormed a number of electives and in the end we decided that we would offer: Animation and Artist Study (taking a deep look at the techniques of artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and others) took the top of the list. We would also like to explore painting on clothing, printmaking, and other areas of art for this short segment in the afternoon.

Inspiring Summer Art Camp, Lebanon, New Jersey, Hunterdon County

Whether you are studying acrylic art or watercolors with us at Diving Into Art in Lebanon, NJ this summer, we believe a strong foundation in drawing gives you the tools to find your own voice when it comes to creating art.

What does this mean exactly?

It means every morning we will learn to draw from a variety of perspectives, work on portraits and different techniques in drawing the eyes, the hands, facial expressions, and landscapes.

In our Lebanon, New Jersey art camp in Hunterdon Country we will look at the masters artists such as Renoir, Picasso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, Norman Rockwell, Goergia O’Keeffe, and others, and learn their techniques.  A huge part of learning is standing on the shoulders of past and current greats, and in the process raising our game along the way.  The ironic thing is that by focusing on this type of study, creating artificial boundaries to work on certain concepts, your freedom is expanded when creating your own works.  If you would like to learn more about our fun and inspiring art camp in the Hamptons, just click here to our art art page on our site.  See you soon!
