Children and teenagers will have opportunities to create art at the gallery of the Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA), 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg, this summer.
Youths age 13 and older are invited to participate in Teen Open Studio, which is being held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Artists should bring their preferred art materials with them. Instructor Beth Stepenaski will provide assistance and feedback to students who enjoy drawing, painting, pastels, graphic design, and more. Stepenaski has eight years of experience as a graphic designer and animator from which to pull as she acts as a resource for aspiring animators and students who enjoy cartooning and anime.
"All artmaking is valid, even cartooning," Stepenaski said.
A suggested donation has been set to attend each open studio.
Openings are still available in the three art camps being offered this summer. A cost has been set for each camp, with separate prices for full-day and half-day attendance. Some camps will have an additional fee to cover the cost of materials.
"Let's Make Sense of Art" will be held on Monday, June 24, to Friday, June 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Children age 7 and older are invited to attend all day or just half-days. Instructors Sam and Kate Mylin will introduce the basics of art and the creative process.
Professional painter Carol S. Herr will lead "Painting Camp for Creative Kids" for youths ages 10 to 17 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, July 8, to Friday, July 12.
