Drawing Classes in San Mateo, CA

Transform everyday sights into extraordinary works of art! This camp focuses on observational drawing and painting, enriched with mixed media techniques to help teens capture what they see in fresh and creative ways. Campers will explore line, shape, color, and texture while working from life, including still-life setups and sketching. They’ll layer materials like graphite, ink, watercolor, and collage to create dynamic, multi-dimensional pieces inspired by the world around them. The curriculum for Teen Camp includes both self-paced and instructor-directed art-making. The daily activity schedule comprises a full day of art-making, with breaks taken at the student’s discretion. Parents are responsible for providing snacks and lunch. Advanced Exploration (ADEX) students who have completed the prerequisites will also have the opportunity to be more independent, allowing them to design and work on self-directed projects. Extended Care: Extended care is available during the following time periods: 8-9 am, 3-4 pm, and 4-5 pm at $65 per hour for five days per week or fewer. You may also customize your extended care schedule at $17 per hour or portion of an hour for one or more days. Coordinate your extended care needs with The Marvegos before attending and notify the teacher of your needs on the first day of camp. Waitlisting: If your preferred camp is full, we highly recommend adding your child to the waitlist. If spots become available, everyone on the waiting list is notified via email, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Avoiding Repeated Projects: Each themed week features the same projects throughout the week. If your child repeats the same themed week, they will work on the same projects twice. To ensure a fresh and engaging camp experience, we strongly recommend selecting different themed weeks.
