Beginning and Intermediate

Be a “professional” writer and illustrator while expanding your critical thinking skills. Writers create a publishing company, plan and produce individual, fully illustrated unique picture books. Discussions include writing motivation, craft of writing, extensive literature exposure, anti-bias and multi-cultural themes. Art exploration includes graphic design, watercolor, illustration and collage techniques. Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced camps run in sequence; taking writing camps in sequence is recommended but not required. In just one short week, transform your first drafts into personal masterpieces.
