Illustrious Illustrators

It was an artsy week at Illustrious Illustrators!

Monday

We made our own hand sanitizer to keep clean at camp. In the afternoon we discussed how illustrations help with storytelling, and we created illustrations to a popular folktale. 

Decorating masks and making sanitizer


Tuesday

We studied Maine author/illustrators Dahlov Ipcar and Chris Van Dusen. We created works of art that were inspired by these artists.

Wednesday

The Juniors studied Mo Willem's Elephant and Piggie books and tried to emulate his style. The Seniors surprised the Juniors by putting on an Elephant and Piggie play.  The Seniors studied Calvin and Hobbs and made their own cartoons.

Puppets!

Costumes!

Thursday

We studied claymation. Each camper made their own claymation character and we created stop-motion claymation movies and flip-books. Here is a clip of some of the juniors' work!


Friday

We hosted our very own DaVinci art gallery.
