Wizarding World
Your magic wand awaits your hand to bring it to life with a week of magical art experiences where imagination in your most important tool! Through stories and with drawings, paint, and clay, each participant will heighten their wizardly skills. Using herbology, incredible plants will be sculpted from clay; transfigurations will occur through collaborative drawing exercises; potion making will be a breeze with liquid food mixing; creature care will be easy after acquiring new skills in needle-felting. Bring a nut-free bag lunch.
Cartooning Camp
Join us as we create our own cartoon characters and their worlds! We’ll learn how to add expression and action to these characters, and the importance of TIME in telling their stories! We’ll pay attention to writing and lettering, as we create comic strips and single panel gags! Bring a nut-free bag lunch.
Super Heroes & Villains Art Camp
The idea of good versus evil is never more apparent than in the clashes between our favorite Superheroes and Villains. We’ll talk about what makes a good Superhero good and what makes a Villain oh-so-evil, and then design our own! In this character design camp we’ll learn about: thumbnails, style sheets, turnarounds and splash pages. We’ll discuss costuming and logos and learn why color combinations have played such key roles in defining heroes’ and villains’ looks in the past as we design costumes for our own O.C.s (“Original Characters”). With this new knowledge, we’ll create our own comic books! In the latter part of the week we’ll turn our attention to the phenomenon that is cosplay (aka “costume play”), crafting key components from our hero or villain to become that character through costuming, cosmetics, and acting. For our last day, we’ll put on a mini “Comic Con” in order to share our comic books with our families, and to show off our cosplay characters. Bring a nut-free bag lunch.
Fairytopia Art Camp
Visit a fairy world and make fairies out of wire, beads, and flowers. Create a fairy garden, a headdress and jewelry; decorate fairy cakes; and explore the entire world of magical fairies wearing your own set of wings. Bring a nut-free bag lunch.
