This art camp has two subjects.  An introduction to professional cartoon drawing skills such as 3D form drawing, shading and perspective and an introduction to the fundamental process of creating a 2D animation.

Cartoon Drawing and Animation
  • Campers will use these skills in creating a wide range of subjects such as human characters, animals, landscape and buildings.
  • Campers will use the skills of cartoon drawing to render the sequential key frames of a 2D animation base on a guide provided by the teacher.
  • These key frames will be captured by a camera and processed as a short movie.
  • The outcome of this class will be a series of fully colored cartoon pictures, a time based short animation movie hand-made by the campers.
  • Bus Transportation: NOT AVAILABLE
  • NO CAMP ON FRIDAY JULY 3RD
