Discover Mixed Media Camps at MUSEO

​Mixed Media has an almost magical ability to unlock creative thinking and problem-solving because almost anything can become or be communicated through art (source). These skills not only serve kids during their formative years, but well into adulthood by giving them practical opportunities to play and think outside of the box. MUSEO Art Academy Mixed Media Camps provide a safe and engaging environment in which students are encouraged to experiment and explore new and captivating ways to express themselves creatively.

Understanding 'Media' in Art
In the art world, 'media' refers to both the types and materials of art. For example, sculpture and painting are different art forms, and materials like wire or watercolor paint are different artistic mediums. Mixed Media, involves combining various art forms and materials, offering a rich, creative experience and a greater attention to detail when interacting with the world.

The Rich Tapestry of Mixed Media
Mixed Media Camps are where creativity knows no bounds. By providing an opportunity to experiment with a diverse range of materials and art forms, from printmaking and metal working to fabric dying and assemblage, campers can quickly find their favorite ways to create. This approach not only nurtures creativity but also enhances problem-solving skills as campers learn to integrate different materials into cohesive artworks.

Projects and Possibilities
While the specific projects change each year, a glimpse into past activities reveals the camp's dynamic nature. One favorite was the marbled paper portraits, where students used shaving cream and food dye to create abstract backgrounds on which they then painted self- portraits with acrylics. The result? Each a unique and vibrant work of art!

Mixed Media: Beyond Traditional Boundaries
Our Mixed Media Camps challenge traditional art norms, encouraging students to explore and combine various art forms and materials. This not only expands their artistic repertoire but also allows for unique self-expression. The journey of creative discovery comes alive with mixed media.
