Student Work
Focus and Goals For This Cartoon Camp
Art Camp would be a more accurate name, but in this wonderful 5-day Cartoon Camp, young artists will explore a wide range of artistic techniques and styles—from drawing and observational skills to watercolor painting, sculpting and perspective. Each day presents new creative challenges and accomplishments while encouraging campers to experiment, build confidence and discover fresh ways to bring their ideas to life.
This camp is all about curiosity and creativity. Whether your child loves sketching characters or scenery, shaping 3D forms, or playing with color, they'll develop valuable skills, gain fresh inspiration and deepen their understanding of the artistic process. By the end of the week, they’ll walk away with renewed confidence in their creativity and a collection of unique artwork to show for it!
Regardless of our planned curriculum and schedules, we approach Cartoon Camp with great flexibility and are here to support our students growth, understanding and passion. We’re excited to field any questions our students may have about art, animation, production or the secrets behind creating captivating films and TV shows.
So don't ever hesitate to bring your curiosity to Cartoon Camp! :)
THIS CARTOON CAMP PRICE:
$12.97 an hour x 30 hours = $389 (+HST) per camper

“Brad is an excellent instructor who really cares about his students. He is very kind and supportive, as well as a joy to be around! Even on a busy schedule he makes time to help out and hear out anyone who needs him. I would highly recommend learning from him, it will definitely be a quality education!”
Some Student Feedback
“OMG where to begin. Brad is my favorite instructor, period. And I’m not even his student anymore! I cannot stress how much of a blessing it was to have crossed paths with him. He’s taught me so many masterfully genius artistic concepts that I continue to use to this very day. He’s taught me to be professional without forgetting to be silly, the two can coexist and SHOULD coexist. He’s a great role model, full of humility, care and understanding.”
