If you’re looking for an artistic way for the children in your life to spend their summer, then look no further than Polk Museum of Art’s SummerArt Camp for kids. This year, the theme is “Modern Art… Up, Up, and Away!” and the Museum is kickin’ it old school by focusing each Camp session on a different modern art period.

Here are just a few of the movements we will draw inspiration from:

Session 1 (June 14 – 25) – 1900s – 1910s: Explore the swirls, twirls, and cartoon-like style of Art Nouveau, the broken forms of Cubism, and the movement of Futurism.

Session 2 (June 28 – July 9) – 1920s: Let imaginations run wild with Surrealism, feel the clean lines and geometry of Art Deco, and dig into the ethnic influences of the Harlem Renaissance.

Session 3 (July 12 – 23) – 1950s: Go mad for popular culture with Pop Art, focus on color with Color Field painting, and get funky with Neo-Dada constructions.

Session 4  (July 26 – August 6) -  1960s – present: Fool your eyes with Op Art, break it down to the basics with Minimalism, and get digital with Computer Art.

Classes offered throughout the summer include Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Digital Photography, Mixed Media Art, Wearable Art, Printmaking, and Performance Play. Students may take one to three classes per day, per session, and may enroll in any session. Each session will be themed to a different modern art period.

Tuition for SummerArt Camp is $115 per class, per student, with discounts given for Museum members and enrolling in multiple classes. For example, a non-member student who enrolls in three classes per day for one session will cost $330 for the session.
