Diving into Art is a summer art camp in the Hamptons for students during the day (9-3 pm, High School, Middle School), and then in the afternoons we offering classes for adults (3-5 pm). We welcome painters who are new to art to experienced artists. All of our teachers are very friendly as we dive into acrylic painting the week of July 18-22 and then watercolor painting the week of July 25-29, with electives in the afternoon both weeks.
Our classes are all outside, under a large tent, in Bridgehampton and every student has his or her own canvas, brushes, and paint. Our ultimate goal is for students of all ages to learn and refine their skills, and then to ultimately go off on their own and create works in their own way.
The Hamptons has inspired many in the arts with its inspiring landscapes and ocean views, another world away from the pressures of New York City. Artists such as Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Mary Abbott, Paul Jenkins, Ray Parker, Elaine de Kooning, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and many others spent time on the craft in the Hamptons. Here is a great shot of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner below.
