Stop Motion Animation
Session 1, ages 13-18
Develop skills in art, storytelling and film-making as you devise, design and create short movies using the technique of stop motion. We値l seek inspiration by watching some of the most exciting stop motion projects ever created. Next, we値l learn story boarding and work on 2D and 3D art techniques as we create the landscape and characters for our final movies. In the final days, we値l record our script and film our movie using digital SLRs. We致e offered stop motion animation as part of a program before, but this time it痴 our entire focus, and we can create movies more ambitious than ever before. Final pieces will be premiered at camp, and uploaded to our web site in the Fall for all participants to share and enjoy. Please bring along a digital camera and a USB flash drive on which to record your work.
Digital Photography
: The WE Project
Session 3, ages 13-18 Instructor: Aaron Alviano
What does WE mean to YOU? In this exciting arts experiment, we will reveal a series of bizarre objects, recordings and newspaper cuttings to three programs on the first day. Using all this as inspiration, the programs will work independently - and collaboratively - on original arts creations, sharing their work in front of an audience on the final day. We値l begin by learning to take better photographs, exploring the technical capabilities of our cameras and experimenting with photo manipulation in the computer lab. Next, we値l examine ways to use the medium to create exciting and original works of art, transforming our photographs with paint, text and collage. We値l look to contemporary photographers for ideas, too, then turn our attention to the WE Project itself! Exploring the meaning of the objects, music and cuttings supplied, we will create and manipulate photographs, then combine with two other departments for an explosion of creativity on the final day. Please bring along a digital camera and a USB flash drive on which to record your work.

My daughter talked for hours about how much fun she had at camp. This
was her first year taking photography, and she has picked up so many
wonderful skills. Thank you all."
