CAMP DETAILS

In the morning, practice the running stitch, whip stitch, and blanket stitch as you hand sew these cute foods for yourself and to share with friends.

This year, make four brand new treats: the avocado, mushroom, cookies n’ cream frappuccino, and mini scones (complete with Starbucks-themed bakery bag)!

Use them as small pillows and pincushions, or just because they're adorable! If you have time, make even more foods of your choice.

In the afternoon, students will learn how to draw the industry standard 9-head figure with accurate proportions in order to create realistic fashion illustrations.

Each day we will focus on something new, starting with areas that give most artists trouble: face proportions, hands, and feet (in fabulous shoes of course!), as well as drawing different poses.

Then, learn how to draw all kinds of wonderful outfits with tips for making fabric look realistic. No more triangle skirts!

On Friday, combine everything you’ve learned to create your very own Designer Collection.

Look through reference books and the latest fashion magazines to inspire you to design your own outfits and accessories, and practice your coloring skills with light and shadow in order to  really make your drawing come to life.

We’ll use premium colored pencils and alcohol-based markers to make our drawings pop!

We will also practice sharing our work in a group and giving and accepting feedback, which is an important part of being an artist. We will use these constructive comments to get new ideas and find ways to improve our art.

This is going to be so much fun!
