Summer Camps

Summer Camp: Young Designers Trunk Show

Standard

Last year, my campers suggested I create a new camp theme called Shopping Mall which became this year’s camp called Young Designers.

This summer, we went from playing by a tree trunk to participating in a trunk show at Daisy’s Mercantile on Park Street in Alameda on Saturday, August 28.  Thanks Barbara Mooney for letting us learn from you!

We raised $52 to benefit the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter.

Through our design, we were able to learn about entrepreneurship, community service and retailing.

Art Tricks Summer Camp Show: Super Graphic Personalities

Standard

super graphic, checkboard pattern, personality portraits, graffiti

I’m hanging this Super Graphic Heads show at Starbucks on Park St (Alameda, CA) this afternoon.  We created them in Art Tricks Camp.  It’s funny how we used the same materials and yet each one has an original personality.

This hand lettered sign was made by  a camper.  He looked around the studio for inspirational objects to design his poster alphabet.
