Art by Ancourage · School Holiday Programme
Content reviewed: Jun 2026
The Holiday Art Camp at Art by Ancourage runs across every Singapore school holiday — March, June, September, and Year-End — at our Bishan (152 Bishan Street 11) and Woodlands (Vista Point, 548 Woodlands Drive 44) studios. Choose a 5-hour Holiday Day Camp (10am–3pm, $208 early bird per child when paid 14 days ahead, $268 regular, lunch included) where students complete one themed artwork in a guided full-day session, or a 2-hour Lesson Package (4, 12, or 24 sessions, shareable with friends and family). Ages 5–15 are welcome, and no prior art experience is required. Every camp at Ancourage Academy is led by a LASALLE-trained instructor and includes all materials.
Students explore real artistic disciplines — drawing, painting, mixed media, paper craft, and traditional Chinese gongbi techniques — and take home a finished piece every session. Each artwork reflects how foundational skills like observation, texture, and form are taught in a structured yet creative classroom setting.
Each term follows a thematic arc — Portrait Magic & Character Creation, Enchanted Nature Creations, Creative Keepsakes, and Fine Arts & Mixed Media. Parents receive photos and a brief progress update after each session. Trial day camp $208 early bird; regular $268.
