Adventures in Procreate Drawing & Animation (ages 11 – 14) - SOLD Out

Camp overview Dive into the dynamic world of digital drawing & animation using the illustration app Procreate. Guided by teaching artist and illustrator Fry, young creators will bring their drawings to life through movement, rhythm, and storytelling. Through a mix of individual projects and collaborative experiments, campers will learn digital illustration techniques, frame-by-frame animation, and simple motion graphics. Along the way, they’ll practice design thinking by developing ideas, storyboarding, testing animations, and refining digital artwork through iteration and feedback. Campers will experiment with visual narratives, character movement, and pacing as they transform sketches into animated scenes. By the end of the week, participants build a small portfolio of digital illustrations and complete a short animated piece to share in a camp showcase for friends and family. Perfect for curious beginners and creative youth ready to level up, this camp empowers young artists to turn imagination into motion and share their stories through digital animation. Sold out – waitlist only About the teaching artist Fry (she/they) is a graphic recorder, illustrator, and educator who believes images are a powerful tool for creating positive change. Her interest in visual work is founded in an appreciation for deeper levels of listening, cultivating new mindsets, and allowing space for people to be creative. She is currently based in Portland, Oregon. Fry’s work as an artist extends into the culture of zine making and she has received two grants from the Regional Arts and Culture Council to produce publications focused on mental health awareness. She is also passionate about public art and can frequently be found at parks sitting inside her creation Selfie Bot, a public art installation offered to inspire joy and bring together strangers.
