Camp DRAW-A-THON is a free summer intensive for rising 7th-9th and 10th-11th graders led by Teen Art Salon in partnership with The Drawing Center. Over a one-week period, young artists will engage in a dynamic daily drawing marathon to fill a sketchbook.
This program builds on Teen Art Salon's use of the sketchbook as a tool for experimentation, risk-taking, and reimagining. Throughout the week, participants will look at work in The Drawing Center's galleries and be given exercises to use the sketchbook as space to dream, prepare, rehearse, record, and realize artistic vision.
In a collaborative setting with guidance from instructors, artists will deepen their conceptual and observational drawing skills, through exploring individual style, the search for inspiration, and spatial awareness on & across the page. The goal is for participants to further a generative routine drawing practice and to celebrate what they are uniquely motivated to sketch.
