Sharks & Mermaids Art Camp (Grades 2-6) Summer is all about water and waves, and what better fin-tastic hosts to launch us into a week of artmaking than fintastic characters from Myth and Legend, the Mermaid and the Shark? We’ll plunge into mythology to discover when Mermaids became the captivating characters they are, and we’ll look at some of our favorites (Ariel, Ponyo) for character design inspiration. We’ll take a deep dive into Shark biology, and use this info for our own drawings, as we reference our favorite animated sharks (Bruce, Destiny) in order to design our own cartoon characters. A “small craft(ing) advisory” will be in full effect as we create seaside towns, complete with waves, boardwalks, beaches and several beachgoing characters and accessories (messages in bottles, beach balls). Clean recyclables will be used for our “towns” to launch discussions about keeping the ocean clean and its inhabitants safe.

Monday-Friday, July 24-July 28, 9:00 am-2:00 pm
Superheroes & Villains Art Camp (Grades 2-6) 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 will 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 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 bag lunch and snack. #842375-A Fee: $265 for Residents or $275 for Non-residents |
