Does your child love drawing anime, cartoons, or big-eyed characters with personality?  This high-energy Manga & Cartoon camp is perfect for young artists who want to bring their charters to life! Students will explore the fun and expressive world of Japanese Kawaii culture (cute, adorable, and full of attitude) while learning key drawing skills. Key drawing skills:  facial proportion & expression, creating characters with "sweet & sour" personalities, sketching techniques for anime-style faces, and designing dynamic splatter backgrounds outdoors. Campers will also create a finished anime head shot on canvas using acrylic paint with a bold accent color - an exciting keepsake piece they'll be proud to take home! This camp is drawing-focused, imaginative, and packed with creativity - so bring your best ideas and get ready to have fun!  BONUS: Families are invited to a Gallery Show on the final day of camp to celebrate the students' artwork (please arrive at 4:55 for our viewing of creations). Please have child bring water bottle, snack, and wear clothes that are not precious. Please bring a bathing suit, towel, or extra clothes on Thursday for an optional water play activity.
