Our sense of smell will be activated through floral projects, and we'll create musical artwork to delight our ears. Intrigued by texture, campers will collect and create art from scavenged nature elements. Finally, tastebuds will dance through edible art. Join in the fun for a week full of hands-on sensory surprises!

Both the techniques of character design and the theory of character design will be explored; students will not only learn the aesthetics of good design and how to use various materials, but will also consider what makes a well designed character, employing writing, acting, and drawing activities to strengthen their storytelling skills.
