ART SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Summer Art Camps, 2023

Each camp session is designed to give artists-in-training insight into different aspects of art. The projects encourage students to follow their creative desires while learning necessary skills. There are no set age groups, allowing for teens, pre-teens and even First graders to share their ideas, to inspire one another, and as a result, create a nurturing artistic environment.

OUR COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
SUMMER 2022 UPDATE

The San Mateo County Health Office has not changed its guidance on “Social Bubbles.” This means that we are still going to have 2 Week Summer Camp Sessions. This is to ensure that we maintain “Stable Groups” of campers for the safety of them and their families. We highly encourage our families to continue to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing and following quarantine guidelines.

We take temperatures, wear masks in the classroom, and wipe down all materials. We have replaced serve-yourself popcorn for packaged snacks and have good ventilation. COVID seems to be a built-in course in creative adaptability.

Please practice social distancing and quarantine protocols before attending camp. If you experience any symptoms of Covid-19 within 14 days prior to attending, please do not come to the art school. If you have received a negative test result after experiencing symptoms within that time period, we will request to see those results when you arrive.

If you have questions please call 650-713-0751.

This is the best way for you to help keep our community members safe and for us stay open this summer.
