Art Classes & Summer Art Camps for Adults
Do you have a group of 4-5 adults (over 16) that would like to take a 3 day class or “Summer Art Camp” at my studio? Art camps would be a Tuesday-Thursday from 6-8pm in June, July or early August. Let me know a few different weeks that would work for your group when you inquire. Cost is $600 and includes supplies. Laura Lynne’s art studio is located across from Blackhawk Park in Aurora, IL. The studio address is 440 W Galena Blvd, Second Floor, Aurora, IL (sorry, no elevator). Ample parking located behind the building.
Summer Art Camp Options:
Color Theory, Did you know black and white are not colors? Learn about color interactions, color mixing, color schemes and more using simple materials like collage and watercolors. No experience necessary.
Watercolor Wildlife, Learn watercolor techniques and apply them to subjects inspired by local Aurora wildlife in this summer art camp for adults. We’ll look at big cats of Illinois, opossums and more. No experience necessary.
Collage Like Your Inner 8-Year-Old Self, Remember what it was like to be a kid and collage with pom poms, magazines, and chenille stems (or did you call them “pipe cleaners” ’cause you’re old like me?)? Now is your chance to relive your childhood with collage projects using a variety of silly materials. I’ll even let you put liquid glue on your hand and peel it off…
Mandala/Radial Design Learn the relaxing art of mandalas, or radial design. We’ll be working with different supplies and learning new techniques each day, including circle weaving with yarn, drawing with ink markers, collaging and even creating with natural materials. No experience necessary.

About the Art Teacher:
Laura Lynne is best known for creating colorful and whimsical mixed media collages and murals. Since the early age of 8 years old, Laura knew she wanted to be an artist. In high school she studied photography and figure drawing, taking classes at a local college and MIAD. Learning black and white photography and figure drawing influenced her art by creating a strong foundation in light and value. She attended UW-Madison, then UW-Milwaukee where she took a summer to travel around Europe, Egypt and the Mediterranean countries studying art history on location. Laura received her BFA with a concentration in Painting and Drawing from UW-Milwaukee. She kicked off her teaching experience with an artist-in-residence at the DuPage Children’s Museum, then a 4 year artist-in-residence with Indian Prairie School District where she taught classes, summer camps, and workshops in-person and online. In 2023, Laura started teaching grades K-8 and art clubs at a local private school. Laura has called Aurora, IL home since 2008. She is an enthusiastic participant in Aurora’s growing art scene.
