Camp Description:
In this exciting and imaginative course, young artists will explore the world of interior design by creating their own dream spaces through art. Students will learn the basics of color, layout, and design as they plan, sketch, and build miniature room models. From designing walls and furniture to adding artistic details, participants will have fun creating their own personalized, creative spaces while learning key concepts in both art and interior design.
Session Structure:
