Open to children ages 9-12.

Calling all social media influencers! The environment is facing a number of big issues that require creative solutions. Animals like seals, sea turtles, and sharks need our help. One way we can do that is by getting the word out!

Campers will learn about the issues that affect animals out in nature by doing hands-on science and engineering activities. They will then get to be a part of the solution by writing, filming, and editing their own short videos about the environmental topic of their choice, which will be posted to the aquarium’s social media.

Campers will also get an opportunity to experience the Aquarium’s 4D theater.

ACRYLIC PAINTING FOR EVERYONE - ALL LEVELS

JOE FAMA

7 TUESDAYS

July 8 - August 19

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Students will discover the fundamentals needed to capture form, shading, composition, and study values with the three primary colors. Choices of subject matter range from figures, landscape, or still life. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy.  Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class. 

Max. 8 students.
