Farmyard Fun Art Camp at Picket Fence Art Studio invites kids ages 8 to 13 to dive into a week of art inspired by animals, country life, and storytelling. Campers explore drawing, painting, mixed media, and clay with professional quality materials through guided, age appropriate lessons that build skills and confidence, with finished pieces to take home. A highlight is sketching real animals from life, then using those studies to create expressive paintings, layered farm scenes, and three dimensional projects back in the studio. Projects may include patterned chicken portraits and other farm animals, rural landscapes that develop foreground, middle ground, and background, and texture explorations with watercolor, acrylic, ink, and mixed media. Clay animals or totems are hand built with detailed surface textures, kiln fired, and ready for pickup one week after camp. Pricing options include a half day at $265 or a full day at $495, with optional early drop off and late pick up available for an additional $40 per week.
