Summer Art Camp: Kawaii to Kaiju: Japanese-Inspired Art for Kids


  • Art School Santa Fe 3600 Cerrillos Road Santa Fe, NM, 87507 United States (map)

In this camp, artists will be inspired by different styles and themes of Japanese art, ranging from anime and kawaii to kaiju and yokai. Students will be encouraged to be imaginative by creating their own characters with a range of emotions and magical powers. Skills learned will include human, plant, and animal anatomy, shading, inking, portraying emotions, scale, and composition. Materials will include colored pencils, pastels, and pen and ink.

Students should bring a snack for the day, water (please no soda, boba or sticky sugary drinks), and a sketchbook (optional). We will be offering some light snacks - please let us know if your child has a serious allergy or health issues we should be aware of. Aprons will be available for messy projects, but we encourage students to wear clothes that they are not too attached to.

The mission of our summer program is to create a safe, fun and relaxing environment for students to grow, make friends and learn extensively about art. It is crucial for the school to create a space where everyone is welcomed, feels safe and supported. Any of our summer classes may offer: games, social time and relationship building, short video tutorials, media entertainment, prizes and treats, social and emotional support, books or time to relax.
