CAMP DESCRIPTION:
I will teach young artists to draw Super Mario Bros characters, as I guide the process step-by-step. After drawing the figure, we will color them in, and students can use any coloring utensil they prefer! Crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint, pastels, the sky is the limit! While this is an art-based course, we want to also feel like a community, and get to know others who share a love for Super Mario Bros. Each camp offered focuses on a specific set of characters. The course descriptions tell you which characters are in that camp.
