Step into the magical world of stories, where art becomes the language of imagination. This camp is inspired by the narratives found in movies, books, graphic novels, zines, and comics, inviting campers to explore the endless possibilities of storytelling through visual art. In this camp, young storytellers will embark on creative adventures, expressing tales of wonder and adventure through mixed media art projects. From creating their own illustrated storybooks to designing characters, students will embrace art making through drawing, painting, collage, set-building and more! This will be the perfect opportunity to embrace their imagination through storytelling and making.

This camp is designed for the imaginative minds, taking students on a journey through the storytelling power of visual art, exploring the dynamic realms of books, graphic novels, zines, and comics. Through a blend of mixed media projects, students will unlock the secrets of conveying compelling stories through their artwork, learning about character crafting, story development and how to merge text and imagery in ways that captivate and communicate.
From sketching the next iconic character, crafting a deeply personal zine, or painting scenes that leap off the canvas, this camp encourages young artists to explore and express their unique voice while understanding the principles and craftsmanship of story making. Students will engage with peers who share similar passions and emerge with a portfolio that showcases their ability to tell stories that resonate.

ARAS will supply all necessary materials for student projects in the camps. What we advise students to bring includes:

1. A PEANUT/NUT/SESAME FREE lunch and snacks. Please provide a lunch and snacks that are free from peanuts, nuts, and sesame. Although we cannot promise a completely nut-free camp due to our use of shared public spaces, we strive to create the safest environment possible for all our campers. You can help us by making sure your child's lunch and snacks do not contain peanuts, nuts, or sesame and by ensuring that campers do not bring food to share.

2. WATER in a refillable bottle – please label with the camper's name.

3. WEATHER & ACTIVITY APPROPRIATE CLOTHES. Ensure your camper is dressed appropriately for the day's weather, keeping in mind that the studio may be cool even during very hot days. It's advisable to wear clothes that can withstand getting a bit messy during art activities.

4. CLOSED-TOE SHOES for the art studio. Please refrain from sending campers wearing open-toed footwear such as flip flops or crocs, as these are unsafe for the studio setting.
