Tiny Worlds: Making Models and Drawing From Them | Ages 9-11 | June 22 - 26 PM
Camp - Youth | Available
Bring your imagination to life by creating your very own tiny world! In this camp, you will design and build miniature 3D environments using a variety of materials. You’ll explore texture, shape, and detail while crafting a world inspired by your ideas and stories. Once your model is complete, you’ll learn how to light it to set the mood and create atmosphere. Then, use your tiny world as a real 3D reference to draw and paint it from different angles. This hands-on approach helps artists understand space, depth, perspective, and light in a creative and exciting way. By the end of the class, you’ll have a unique miniature world and finished artwork inspired by it!
