DESCRIPTION: From video games to novels to animation, there are so many characters for us to love and bring life to! Pikachu from Pokemon who can generate powerful electricity with extra soft and super stretchy cheeks; Gabriel the Warrior from Minecraft with incredible bravery and strong fighting abilities; Hermione Granger from Harry Potter who has magic powers and a brilliant mind; Elsa from Frozen who can create ice and snow from the palm of her hand; or Bruno from Encanto who can see into the future (both the good and the bad!). Participants will dive into the world of character design, draw their favorite characters, build them using arts and crafts materials and modeling clay, and design their own character-inspired games and comics.
Kids will be picked up at dismissal time. From 3 to 3:30 they will engage in free play/making time while waiting for all of the participants to arrive.
Recommended for ages 7-12
We provide complimentary pick up from PS 11, PS 33, PS 41, PS 340, Avenues, and Corlears for those who register for the whole semester.
