The Secret Life of Sea Creatures: Sculpture and Drawing Camp

Join artist and art instructor Mei-Ying Dell’Aquila for a 6-week children’s art camp exploring sculpting and drawing sea creatures!

For ages 6-12 only

Location: Linn Studio behind Triton Museum of Art

All materials included

The Secret Life of Sea Creatures Art Camp is a 6-week sculpture and drawing camp program that combines imaginative sculpture building with observational drawing inspired by the mysteries of ocean life.

During the first, third, and fifth weeks, students will construct imaginative sea creatures using paper, cardboard, recycled materials, and other fun sculptural media, learning how to build form, texture, and three dimensional structure through hands on experimentation.

In the following weeks, students will use their own handmade sea creatures as artistic models for drawing lessons, developing important skills such as gesture drawing, proportion, shading, pattern design, and perspective.

Through this creative process, students experience the connection between three dimensional construction and two dimensional drawing, gaining a deeper understanding of form, movement, and artistic observation.

Inspired by the sea creatures, students will create a portfolio of imaginative artworks that celebrate both the beauty of marine life and the power of artistic drawing skills.
