Magical Creatures

One of our themes for summer camp this year was “Magical Lands,” dedicated to exploring all things mythical and fantastical. Magical Lands camp really brought out the creativity of our campers, who ran wild with their imaginations to craft some incredibly unique art pieces.

We gave them a simple prompt and materials- create a unicorn, a dragon, or some other mythical creature using wire attached to a foam base, toilet paper rolls, tin foil, and water-activated plaster strips.

When finished pieces all look completely unique from one another, we know we have a successful project. Our campers all start with the same materials, but their experiences, visual memories, artistic preferences, and sense of humor shape their final results, and we see their personalities shine through.

Scroll through our gallery to see all the different interpretations of mythical creatures that roamed our studio this summer - from sweet to scary, fantastic to ferocious!
