Description
This week is all about technology and the wonders of our digital world!! You will use drawing materials to sketch, as well as high powered tablets and stylist pencils to create digital artwork. Through graphic software, you will gain knowledge of digital programs, focusing on character, scenery, and story creation. We will explore various styles of comics including traditional heroes and superheroes, Japanese Manga, and underground traditional.
Virtual Camp will be an immersive, online experience to get creative from the comfort and safey of your home. This camp will be both a one-on-one experience with our teaching artists and a great opportunity to connect with other students with similar interest.
