In this exciting week-long Gamer Adventures & Comic Book Illustration Camp, students will learn the fundamentals of programming, art, and level design to create a video game from the ground up. Using a game engine with integrated art software and an easy-to-use events system, students have the freedom to create a product that is truly their own.
This camp also explores the incredible world of Comic Book Illustration, teaching students character development, storyboarding, paneling, story design, color theory, and how to hone their art style. Instructors will teach students how to create comics using traditional art along with digital software, so they may work comfortably in whichever medium they prefer.
Campers will explore the history of video games by playing classic ones to see the advancement of technology, while developing their artistic vision across both digital game design and comic creation. With the help of our experienced instructors, students will develop their coding, game design, and illustration skills in a fun, creative environment that encourages innovation and self-expression. By the end of the camp, each student will leave with their own video game creation and comic book.
Bring a snack, lunch and drink.
