Art Direction: Props, Costumes, and SFX Makeup

Create Costumes, props, and Set Design!

If there's a budding Artist and creator in you, filled with ideas, and searching for the right tools and techniques to create real cinematic looks and effects, then you've come to the right place! The CK Team will show you the ropes of what it means to create a cinematic world, from the make up and effects, to set dressing, prop-making, and costume design. Learn how to make something new look 1000 years old, create fantastical costumes for goblins and Star Wars characters, build props and create effects for a real film set, and try your hand at special effects make-up looks. This camp is for the artist and creative kid, and is completely hands on and project driven. Kids will also build their very own 3D sets, and learn how to "set dress" like the pros.

Each day students will focus on a different hands-on prop making and costume design technique, and finish the week off with a showcase displaying all the projects, props, and costumes created.  Participants will also work as the Art Department for other projects going on at camp for the week.

The Week, Campers Will:

• Practice various practical special effects using both professional materials as well as home items
• Utilize professional and age-appropriate tools to build sets and props for a video project
• Learn to design, plan, and sew costume elements using a variety pf materials
• Make a short film from star to finish showcasing the sfx, props, and costumes created over the week

Ages: 7 - 14 (grouped by age)
