NEW!
IIL Camps offers children aged 8 to 15 who naturally enjoy drawing and painting 5 creative mornings to explore and develop their imagination through watercolour and illustration.
Throughout the week, children will discover the basics of illustration: learning how to sketch, experimenting with different drawing techniques, playing with light and shadow, and adding depth to their creations. Watercolors, along with colored pencils and Neo Colors, will then become their allies as they explore colors and textures, transforming their ideas into unique illustrations full of imagination and emotion.
The theme of the week: fantastical creatures and imaginary worlds. Mischievous dragons, colorful unicorns, funny monsters, or surprising characters… each child will be invited to invent their own fantastical creatures, giving them personality, movement, and life through drawing.
The camp takes place in small groups (4 to 12 participants), in a warm and stimulating atmosphere that encourages sharing, creativity and self-confidence. The workshop is led by Fédora, a children’s book illustrator and professional comic book author, who will guide each child with passion, kindness and pedagogical care, sharing her expertise and valuable advice with young artists.
A week to create, dream and freely express oneself through art!
