Behind the Canvas: A Day in the Life at RSA Summer Art Camp

A Day in the Life at RSA Summer Art Camp

 

Summer at the Raminfard School of Arts is more than just a season—it’s a creative adventure. Our Fine Art Camp invites young artists (ages 9–17) to immerse themselves in five inspiring hours of art-making, five days a week. From sketching fundamentals to mixed-media exploration, students receive hands-on instruction in a nurturing and encouraging space.

Each day begins with a warm welcome and an overview of the project. Then, it’s pencils and paintbrushes to paper as students dive into drawing, painting, and even a bit of sculpture. Laughter, music, and the hum of focused creativity fill the studio.

By the end of each week, campers not only take home completed works but also a deeper understanding of artistic principles and greater confidence in their creative voice.

Portfolio Development at RSA

🏫 Ideal for Students Applying to:

  • Art schools like RISD, Otis, ArtCenter, Pratt, and Parsons
  • University art programs such as UCLA, USC, CalArts, and CSUs
  • AP Art or IB Visual Arts programs requiring portfolio submissions

🗓 Flexible Scheduling & Ongoing Support

We offer weekly private lessons, small group sessions, and intensive workshops tailored to portfolio students. Whether your teen is just beginning or finalizing their application, we provide expert support every step of the way.
