Week 6: Explorations in Circuitry
Dates: July 27th to July 31st/ Instructor: Arlene Illa
In this week campers will explore various art projects that incorporate circuitry and light, including paper circuitry cards and lanterns. We will be using conductive thread, fabric, and other soft, pliable materials as sculpting media to create sewn plush creature-toys that light up! Campers will examine and execute their own creative ideas and learn basic circuitry.
