Concept
Take drawing and design to new heights in this drawing-based techshop. Learn the latest tools and techniques in illustration, graphic design and digital collage. Students use illustration software, digital cameras, amazing computers, drawing pads and styluses and printers. Digital projects will come to life through postcards, prints and zines. Young artists collage digital drawings onto photographs, learn to cut and blend found imagery, create computerized paint brushes and more! At the end of the week, participants print digital art in a catalog for everyone to take home and share with their family.

From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks!
