Morning Art Camp with Mark Palmer in the morning. ($100/week)

• Palmer is a local artist in Cocoa Beach Florida. This workshop will be specialized for different ages. June 24th Ages 5-7/8 & July 29th Ages 8 & Up. The campers will learn how to create secondary colors through primary ones.  During the week, campers will be working with many materials such as paint, photo transfer, found objects, collage, clay etc. creating mini sculptures, masks, bowls and other artifacts that resembe other cultures throughout the world. The goal is for them to not just think about art as drawing the "perfect picture" but to think and create "outside the box" and open up their view of all the many facets that art entails. Campers will join the rest of camp from 1-3pm.

Artist Bio

Mark Palmer of Rockledge. Mark, a Buffalo NY native, began his art career while living in Washington DC. After two decades he abandoned his cosmopolitan city life and moved to Paducah KY where he helped pioneer the resurgence of the blighted historic “Lowertown” neighborhood. He purchased a pre-civil war building and renovated it to house his art gallery, artist retreat and living spaces. Marks vibrant abstract works range from watercolors to mixed media incorporating acrylic, ink, collage, photo transfer, oil, aquarelle stick, and found objects. They often seem to balance structure and chaos. Jessica Dawson, Washington Post art critic says “Mark Palmer’s works on paper may be small - many just a few inches across - but they crackle with energy.” Mark has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions in cities across the country. His work hangs in private and corporate collections thoughout North America and in Australia and Europe.
