Junior Summer Art Camp: Stop-Motion Madness 

Spend the week making your own animated movie. Participants will build characters and props out of modeling clay, fabric and other bits and bobs, then hand-build miniature sets for them. Campers will photograph their characters acting out different scenes, then learn how to edit their photos in iMovie to create a real stop-motion animation. Join us at the end of the week for a special screening complete with popcorn and lemonade!

Intermediate Summer Art Camp: Book City

Escape to Book City, a world where art and the written word collide! Participants will learn a variety of techniques to elevate stories with illustrations, to make art with comics and scrapbooks and to otherwise combine images and text. Campers will have access to a rich selection of books and materials, then make a project of their choosing, whether bookbinding with paper and thread, embroidering fabric pages and sewing them into a soft reader, or making an edition of artist multiples with silkscreened prints. We'll wrap up the week by creating tote bags to cart our new print projects anywhere we please.
