Movie Magic!: Filmmaking

by

This introduction to filmmaking invites kids to explore storytelling through video and motion. Campers will work together to imagine stories, act them out, and experiment with cameras and sound while learning how movies are made. Through guided projects, students will build creativity, teamwork, and confidence while bringing their ideas to life on screen.

​​The camp will be led by Parker Gehring, a director, writer, producer, and editor of the independently produced film Lucy and Whitney. Parker, who holds a BA in Media Arts from Brigham Young University , has a strong background in film theory, leadership, and group organizational skills. He also travels across Utah teaching film workshops for the Utah Film Center and brings his expert knowledge to help students master the filmmaking process.




Character Sculptures in Clay

by

Bring your favorite characters to life in clay! Teens will explore handbuilding and sculpting techniques to create detailed figures, imaginative creatures, and unique personalities. From pets and heroes to original creations, campers will learn how to shape, texture, and express character through clay, turning ideas into three-dimensional works of art.

Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 7 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece. On the last day of camp, please join us for an art show to photograph work before it gets fired!

Suited for ages 13-18 only. No camp July 3rd.
