Young Art Camps

Children from age 8 through teenagers of all skill levels can take part in art camps June 10 to 13.

• Mornings, 9 to 11:30 a.m.: “Black & White” – sketching and shading. Objects, figures, and outdoor scenery. Relaxed, engaging experience. Black graphite on white and white charcoal on black. Success for any skill level.
• Afternoons, 1 to 3:30 p.m.: “Cookies & Canvas – at the beach.” Mangos will team up with Donel Hakes of The Treat Boutique, who will teach cookie decorating. Participants will get cookies to eat and to take home. They’ll also create a beach scene that’s painted on canvas.

A relaxed, yet challenging experience.
