Get Creative Camp!: Short Stories, Scripts, Photography, Art, Comics & Poetry

Grab your favorite notebook and art supplies and get ready for a fun four day crash course in all things creative!  This course is meant to expose learners to a variety of creative subjects while stimulating their imaginations.  Another goal for this course is to help learners see writing as something fun!  We will be experimenting with an array of different creative activities including creative writing, painting, photo editing, script writing, comic strip making, and poetry.

Here is the break down for this four day creative camp:  

Day One:  Story Writing 
Learners will be given a choice of three writing prompts to start their own fictional story.  The only limit is their imagination!  Adding illustrated art to their story is optional.

Day Two:  Script Writing 
We will learn the difference between dialogues and monologues and learn the basics of script writing.  We will then write our own!  For learners who enjoy acting, they can act out their script at the end of class.  

Day Three:  Photography & Art
We will take a look at some photo editing examples and learners will have a chance to edit their own photo in different ways to change the mood and look.  After, we will discuss different art mediums such as colored pencils, acrylic paint, watercolor & gouache.  Leaners will get to choose from three different creative prompts to inspire their own artwork!  (Learners can use whichever art medium they prefer.)

Day Four:  Comics & Poetry
We will discuss the difference between graphic novels and comic strips.  Learners will be given a choice of three prompts to inspire their next comic book style story!  Learners will then be shown examples of both concrete and acrostic poems and then will choose which type they like best to create their own poem.  

Because this is a one on one class, feel free to let me know if your learner would like to have more days spent on one of the featured subjects.  For example, if your leaner especially likes writing stories but doesn't care for poetry, we can replace the poetry day and use it as a second day for story writing.  The beauty of a one on one class is that it can be tailored to fit your learner's creative preferences!
