Painting, drawing, mixed media, and more! This camp is for ages 9-11. A fun and exciting way for young artists to experiment with a variety of materials while discovering the styles of famous artists throughout history. Each day, students will explore a different artist—such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Kahlo, or Monet—and learn new techniques inspired by their unique approaches to color, composition, and creativity. Campers will then apply what they’ve learned to create their own original masterpieces in a range of media.

This hands-on art camp for kids ages 5–8 turns young artists into storybook detectives! Each day, children will dive into fun, search-and-find books like I Spy and Where’s Waldo?, hunting for hidden details and secret clues. Inspired by what they discover, kids will create their own detective-themed art—drawings, paintings, collages, and even mysterious mini-scenes or secret codes. With imagination as their magnifying glass, every child will uncover the joy of storytelling, observation, and creative problem-solving!

In this 2-week mini class, students will have the opportunity to experiment with mixed media painting methods on paper to create a wide range of engaging textures and colors through paint.  These will then be used to cut and collage different compositions.  Participants are invited to bring 8x10 reference photos or email them to programs@luxcenter.org, and we will print them for you.

Painting with both watercolor and gouache allows artists to combine the transparency and layering capabilities of watercolor with the opaque coverage of gouache, creating richer, more detailed paintings by utilizing each medium's strengths. Typically, watercolor is used for washes and backgrounds while gouache is applied for sharp details and highlights. In this class, participants will experiment with different techniques using watercolor and gouache and will leave with a completed painting. All materials are provided. This class is for Adults 16+.

In this workshop, LUX Artist-in-Residence Jewelya Coffey will teach the basics of creating trace monotypes, a process she uses regularly to begin a drawing. A trace monotype is a printmaking process that involves drawing on paper laid over an inked plate. The pressure of the pencil transfers ink to the paper, creating a unique print. These specific monotypes will be used with oil paint, which makes it a print, painting, and drawing all in one.

In this workshop, participants will explore light and shadow, perspective, shape, and how to create textures as they paint fruit and vegetables using watercolors. Beginning students will be introduced to the fundamentals of painting with watercolor paints and more advanced students can use the time to hone their skills. This workshop is for Adults 16+.
