Digital Arts & Crafters Age 8 - 17
|
Do you love to dig in and make cool things? In this camp we
are going to use the computer as a jumping off place. We’ll
use software to create and alter images and use those images
to create all kinds of things. Depending on camper interest,
we might make puzzles, miniature books, pencils, treasure
boxes, jewelry, cards, wall hangings and more. We will also
explore color, design principles and the fundamentals of
vector and bitmap computer graphics. We will investigate
creative scanning techniques and combine images and objects
to create unique “e-drawings” and “digital paintings.” This
camp will show you the basic techniques and then
set
you free to explore and create.

Digital Photographers
(Gone Wild)
Age 8 - 17

Digital Photography has brought the computer world and the
art world together. We start with taking “straight shots”
and transform them via the computer into eye-popping works
of art. With a click of a few buttons, make an image look
like an ancient photograph or like it is made of melting
plastic. More subtle effects come from blending images and
pixels together creating a masterpiece that mystifies the
eye. Combine images for realistic collages: Supermarket
Tabloids Beware!
End
the camp with an online gallery for your friends and family
to view.
