Artists who are good at drawing don't just have a few things they can render—they have a method that lets them draw anything they see or imagine. In this class, study methods, explore traditional and experimental techniques, and push yourself to use creative experimentation to build strong portfolio pieces.

One-week camp sessions run from June 12 to August 25. Morning classes run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and afternoon classes run from 1 to 4 p.m. Kids can be dropped off for morning classes beginning at 8:30 a.m. and for afternoon classes beginning at 12:30 p.m.

  • Need a full-day solution? Enroll in a morning and afternoon class, and you can take advantage of our extended day program. Extended day allows your child to bring a packed lunch and stay at VisArts from 12 to 1 p.m. as well as from 4 to 5 p.m. Extended day programs can be purchased when you add an afternoon class to your online shopping cart.
Van Auken, Tommy

Thomas Van Auken decided to be an artist when he was drawing a horse in the first grade. Since then, he has focused on drawing and painting, working and experimenting with a variety of materials, especially oil paint. He studied at the Corcoran School of Fine Art, and has shown in a number of galleries including 2nd Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA, and Joan Wich and Co in Houston, TX. In Richmond, he has shown at Eric Schindler Gallery several times over the past 20 years. He began teaching at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond in 2003.
