They will reinforce critical thinking skills while fostering confidence and creativity. Most of all, they will have fun! Art League Houston provides all art supplies, a camp T-shirt, and snacks.

Preview of new classes:
INTERMEDIATE ABSTRACT PAINTING
WEDNESDAY, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
July 10 - August 28 (8 weeks)
$260 members / $295 non-members
This class will focus on creating solid techniques for expressing yourself through abstraction. Student will be encouraged to find a voice through the medium painting, but will not be limited to just basic painting techniques. We will find the best way to accomplish the goals of each artist in class, through their own forms of expression. This class is recommended for anyone who has already taken a beginning painting class and wants to continue to explore this almost limitless medium.
GRAPHIC NOVELS FOR TEENSANNE J. REGAN; All Levels TUESDAY, 1:00 - 4:00 PM JULY 9 - AUGUST 13 (6 weeks) $195
In this course, teens (ages 14-18) will create their own series of comics or a graphic novel. We will focus on storytelling, narrative drawing and the creation of a personal visual language. Varying mediums will be encouraged. All levels, beginner to advanced, superhero comic lover to experimental art comic kid, are encouraged to join.
 COLLAGE + ACRYLIC PAINTING
MONDAY, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
July 8 - August 26 (8 weeks)
$260 members / $295 non-members
In this course, students will be encouraged to take risks and push mediums to the next level. Students of all levels will explore new ideas in mixed-media painting, incorporating acrylic painting and collage techniques, as well as considering the use of unconventional surfaces. We will explore layering experimental mediums, photo transfers, and collage in depth, striving for results that go beyond the obvious, and hope to leave people wondering how a painting was created. Each painter is encouraged to find his or her unique direction working abstractly and to develop a concept they feel strongly about. Everyone will benefit from the sharing of ideas and constructive criticism.
COLOR MIXING AND APPLICATION IN OILS WORKSHOPKELLY ALISON; All Levels THURSDAY, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM July 11 - August 1 (4 weeks) $155
This is a four week class that will cover in detail color theory and application along with essential knowledge about mixing a huge variety of colors with a basic oil painting palette. Students will create a painting each week using the techniques of analogous, contrasting, saturated and non-saturated schemes. Weekly demonstrations will be simple enough for the beginner to follow along as more advanced students will be encouraged to develop their own variations on each weekly theme. If you have ever wanted to be totally confident about your choices and ability to control color, this is the class for you!
Full registration catalog will be posted on the Art League Houston website in the next week!
