Summer Camp: Amazing Animals
Registration is now open!
AGES 6-8
From sea otters to sea horses, young artists will discover the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest at our Amazing Animals Summer Camp! Across a variety of art mediums, artists will explore wild habitats and North American biomes, classify land and water forms, and learn about the interdependence of organisms within an ecosystem. Core techniques and skills will be presented along with an artist’s vocabulary throughout this camp. This is an excellent class for pre-writing and fine motor skill development.
Projects may include: drawing and painting Owls, Sea Turtles, Salmon, Sparrows, sea shells, and sponge art in watercolor, pen and ink, acrylic and pastel.
Amazing Animals will be led by David Repyak, a teaching artist who designed positive creative experiences and emphasizes processes over product.
Each day of camp includes a supervised lunch break and recess at the Waterfront Park and Playground.

About your instructor
“I believe art has the power to transform thinking. Art lifts the human spirit and helps people express their feelings; art builds confidence, and it encourages understanding of the world around us.” -David Repyak

His journey as an artist has included a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University, a K-8 teaching certification from the University of Washington, and a Montessori Elementary credential from MEIPN.
