Teen Creative Corner: Mixed Media Art Workshop
A creative space for teens to unwind, explore, and make something uniquely their own.
In this single-session workshop, participants will explore mixed media art, which means we aren’t limited to just one type of art! Depending on the project, we may combine watercolor, acrylic paint, markers, collage, drawing, air-dry clay, texture, natural materials, or other creative mediums. The goal is to give teens the freedom to experiment, follow their ideas, and discover what happens when there isn’t just one “right” way to create.
We’ll begin with a short meditative exercise, mindfulness activity, or playful group game to help everyone transition out of the school day, reset, and feel comfortable in the space. From there, we’ll move into our featured mixed-media project, with plenty of room for individual interpretation and creative choice.
TASGM workshops are designed to nurture confidence, creativity, curiosity, self-expression, and connection in a welcoming, low-pressure environment. No previous art experience is needed. This is a space to explore, try something new, get a little messy, and have fun creating.
All art materials are provided.
Day Camp
Held on days when Fairfax County Public Schools are closed, TASGM Day Camps provide a full-day immersive experience. Day Camps are designed to feel enriching, structured, and joyful while still supporting emotional balance and nervous system regulation.
9am - 1pm
The Game of Art
Curriculum
Join us for a creative, hands-on camp day inspired by the beauty of spring.
This special “day out of school” experience is filled with art, imagination, and a little friendly competition. Weather permitting, we will do movement meditation and instruments outside. Participants will explore either a choice to use a single art medium or a mix of watercolor, air clay, and unique creative tools to design their own spring-inspired creations.
The focus will mainly be weather and spring inspired, however in order to encourage creativity, participants have the opportunity to digress and create what sparks their interest! This is a day where creativity flows, ideas come to life, and students get to express themselves in a fun and supportive environment.
