About The Event
Learn the basics of watercolor painting while building a forest full of friends! Join instructor Elizabeth Zimmerman for our first week of Summer Art Camp. Each day students will learn new watercolor skills, finishing with a Student Art Show on Friday, June 28th to show off all their new forest friends!
About the teacher:
Elizabeth Zimmerman is a watercolor teacher who travels and shares her love of watercolors. She has a special place in her heart for teaching youth because growing up as a rural homeschooled student, finding art classes was a challenge. Starting her journey of watercolors at age 16, she loves how watercolor has a personality and enjoys teaching what makes watercolors different than other art mediums.
Summer Art Camp runs Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm. Supplies and instruction are included in your fee. Each camper will need to bring their own snacks, lunches and beverages. Wear comfortable clothes that are ok to get messy in and comfortable shoes for walking. We walk to City Park - a 2 block walk.
Each session is taught by artists with support from volunteers. All instructors and volunteers working with children at TDAC go through a background check.
