Join us this summer for the WCC Youth Summer Program!

Morning: Stop Motion Animation

In this program, you will learn the basics of stop motion animation and storytelling!! At the end of this program, you will have built two clay or paper puppets and made two movies! The class will make a movie together and you will make a movie of your own! You will leave this class knowing how to build armatures for clay puppets and how to make a story come to life!

Each student will need a smartphone.

**Please bring lunch & snacks for this all day course.**

Afternoon: Art Experiments with Found Objects

Let's go on a hunt to find things that we can make into art! Did you know you can make drawings, paintings, or prints by combining things from around the house and nature? It's true! Artists have used found objects in artmaking for a long time, and we will check out their work and then go on a scavenger hunt to find fun materials! We will even turn those found objects into 3D sculptures, collages, and assemblages. Try new ways to look at things as art and experiment with creatively putting objects together. Go home with all kinds of art and art tools that you made from things that you found.

Students will do a scavenger hunt at home to gather materials to bring in.

This course is for youth ages 7-13.
