Comics Week: July 7th-11th (Ages 7-15)

$450.00

Bam! Pow! Crash! Join us for Comics Week to tell YOUR stories in mixed media. Throughout the week, we will create characters and then send them on their own epic and artful adventures. On Monday and Tuesday, campers will share ideas about generating interesting characters, and we will bring these characters to life in formats as diverse as paint, colored pencil, needle felt, and clay! Later, we will explore ways to tell their stories, both in classic comic format and by building settings in miniature, experimenting with photography, and creating trading cards.

Note:AM + PM care are now available add-ons. AM care runs 8-10, and PM care runs 2-4. Add either or both care options to your registration here.

A lo largo de la semana, crearemos personajes y luego los enviaremos a sus propias aventuras épicas e ingeniosas.
