Art Under the Microscope Camp

Interested in art, nature, and science? Grab your watercolors and lab coat as we examine specimens at the Life Sciences Collections at ASU. Learn about and take a closer look at animals, botanicals, shells, insects and more under the microscope! As we explore, you’ll create watercolor paintings and drawings based on your visual research. Make it abstract, or paint exactly what you see! This is your time to be creative and investigate a magical microscopic world you never knew existed.

Please note that Art Under the Microscope will be held at ASU’s Natural History Collections, located at 734 W. Alameda Drive, Tempe, AZ 85282; this is a short five-minute drive from ASU’s Tempe Campus. 

The School of Art at Arizona State University offers art camps for students ages 13-18 throughout the summer. These four- and five-day camps—which are open to students with all levels of experience—reflect a wide variety of studio art practices and provide students with an art immersion experience. Each camp gives participants the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and to receive valuable one-on-one feedback from our specialized instructors. All materials are provided for in-person camps. We can’t wait to work with you!
