2010 Spring Camps
AND
April 5th-April 9th
This year's Spring Art Camp is now enrolling. This year two camps will be offered during one week. In the morning block, kids will participate in LiveDraw. They will use pencils, charcoal, soft pastels to draw from the wide range of live animals and 3D sculptures at the Institute. They will also have the opportunity to draw digitally on our 10 tablet computers.
In the afternoon they will have the chance to create stop motion animation movies during Animation Workshop camp. Some kids may even tie together their drawing and films into a single, larger product.
Camps are multi-age and available to kids 4 and older. During Summer 2009, several children as young as 5 years old were able to make amazing movies during Animation Workshop. LiveDraw is suitable for kids as young as 4.
Teacher to student ratio in seasonal camps is 8 to 1 or better.
