FAQs

When are Do Art camps offered?

Camps are offered whenever school is out. We have camps in October, November, December, January, February, April, June-August. There are many days where school is not in session, so we are! If your school has a day or days off that are not listed on the camp schedule in any of our locations, you can contact us to set up your own one-off camp. Email studio4artmarin@gmail.com for more details.

Why enroll in our camps?

Do Art’s mission is to give children a voice through art-making. No other curriculum allows a child to explore, from the point of the unknown to a point of completion, learning art techniques while working through mistakes and problem solving, resulting in higher self-confidence, awareness, and leadership skills.

Do Art is unique in its teaching approach and practice the Studio 4 Art teaching philosophies to all art projects and introduction to art materials. Our curriculum is progressive, child-initiated, and thought-provoking. How to teach the whole child and honor each as the individuals they are is a pretty special way of teaching. We provide growth in children through honoring ideas, executing dream designs, guidance through questions to engage problem-solving, build creative thought processes through mistake-making, and celebrate collaboration.

What age are your camps for?

4-13 (depending on week of camp)

Do you offer payment plans?

yes

What does my child do in a day?

We open our day with the main art activity introducing your child to art history, a new technique, and a chance for us as a community to learn together. The 2nd half of camp is open-ended activities that vary with new art materials set out daily.

How many children are in each camp?

Our studio is able to accommodate 25 campers ages 7-14, 10 campers age 4-6

Will my child get to work on the potter's wheel?

While we love the pottery wheel, during pottery throw down week campers will learn the potters wheel, however, they will not be on a pottery wheel everyday due to the curriculum we have designed, there are many ways to work with clay and we want to excite campers with many techniques.

The clay items my child makes, are they food safe?

If your child is making artwork that is meant to eat out of (cup, plate, bowl, etc.) their work is food and microwave safe.

Does the paint wash out of clothes?

Most generally, no. We are a fine art studio and want our students and campers to experience true and traditional art materials, we know from experience it makes a big difference in their excitement when they see how vibrant and rich colors are and how the consistency in fine art materials differ. Please wear art clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We do have aprons but they don’t always cover.

Do you offer sibling discounts?

yes

Do you offer new curriculum and art projects every year?

We do offer new curriculum and art projects every year. The best part is because of our teaching philosophy in letting our students decide what their artwork will be, they become leaders of their making, allowing them to make decisions on art executions. So even if a project seems “familiar” or “I have done this before” the process invites the scaffolding of learning and they realize new techniques they may not have executed before.

My child doesn’t really know much about art, will they feel overwhelmed?

Our camps are taught to scaffold the learning of each of our campers. We will meet a child at their level and have the ability to then work together to accomplish a work of art that they are proud of. We don’t ever compare work from one camper to another, we know every child comes with their own set of knowledge, our goal is to elevate and celebrate them from where they are.

What techniques will my child learn?

With every week we want your child to walk out of our camp with art knowledge in technique, vocabulary, and history. Techniques will include fine art and contemporary applications. We experiment and learn about drawing skills, painting skills, how to work with clay, screen printing and printmaking, and sewing for soft sculpture and design thinking. From this description, you can see that we definitely put the A in Stem learning (S.T.E.A.M).

What art materials will my child work with?

Clay, paint, printmaking, drawing, mosaics, cartooning, sewing, and mixed media, are just a few examples. We are a true art studio working with all visual art materials. Our teachers are trained and have experience with all art mediums.

We love what we do, and we know your child will too.
