Take a Break at Quest Art’s March Break Madness Art Camps

Like a break this March Break?

Then why not sign your budding young artist up for one of Quest Art’s March Break Madness Art Camps.

Quest Art is offering two art camps this year - one for ages 6 to 8, the other for 9 to 12 years old.

This dynamic program provides an exciting introduction to a wide variety of art techniques and materials.

The 6 to 8 age group will explore sculpture, clay whistles, drawing and painting fundamentals, pop art, and portraits, printmaking, and conclude with an art show.

The 9 to 12 years old age group will learn pen, ink and doodle techniques, experiment with watercolour, acrylic, and three-dimensional canvases as well as learn about various artists including Jim Dine, Laurel Burch, and Paul Klee. This camp will also conclude with an art show.

The camps will take place at the Midland Cultural Centre from March 11 to 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The camps are $125 for members or $135 for non-members.

Artists Jesse James and Kim Vaillancourt will instruct.

Preregistration is required for all camps, by calling Quest Art 705-526-ARTS (2787), visiting our art shop in the Midland Cultural Centre (333 King Street) or going online (www.questart.ca). All Quest Art programs are tax free and anyone who signs up for one of our March Break camps may be eligible for the Ontario Children’s Activity Tax Credit.
