Summer Art Camp Week 5- Nature (July 18th - July 22nd )

Welcome to Golden Moon Studios, located in downtown San Mateo. We offer weekly themed art camps available for students 5-12 years old!

Weekly theme: Natural

Artists across many mediums are inspired by art forms in nature. Art can mimic nature, by seeking to visually replicate objects as they actually appear in real life. Campers will learn more about art inspirations in nature and learn to incorporate the natural world around them into their artwork.

​What will my child do?

We will explore colors, textures, light, a variety of mediums and materials with hands-on art projects that will excite your child. Materials and activities include: acrylic painting, collage, oil pastels, sketching, blending, watercolor painting and more!

​What's the day schedule look like?

A typical day at art camp starts with checking in and introduction to our main art activity, based on that weeks theme. Campers are shown a new technique and/or art material. We then will have snack time (usually on our patio) followed by more project work. Most days children will take a walk to Central Park for a picnic and to explore the Japanese Tea Garden, play area, rose garden and/or arboretum.

​What should they bring?

- Healthy lunch, AM snack & PM snack (nut-free)
- A water bottle (we have a refill station!)
-Comfortable Cloth & Shoes
-Extra clothing for colorful accident or extra layers for outdoor time
- Hat and/or Sunscreen
-Medications (Ex: EpiPen) if your camper needs it.
-Curiosity with positive attitude

All art supplies are included!

​Our Mission:

Our hope is to give children a voice through art-making. Art allows a child to explore, from the point of the unknown to a point of completion, learning art techniques while working through mistakes and problem solving, resulting in higher self-confidence, awareness, and leadership skills.

We hope to provide growth in children through honoring ideas, executing dream designs, guidance through questions to engage problem-solving, build creative thought processes through mistake-making, and celebrate collaboration.
