Animals are great entryways into the worlds of both science and art. Through their biology and behavior, we learn a great deal about the natural world and can better understand our own place in it.
This interdisciplinary course keeps students fully engaged with a wide range of animals that they will encounter during field trips to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium. Instructors will explain the basics of animal anatomy and, once back on campus, will show students how to bring creatures to life through artwork.
By the end of the workshop, each Adventurer will be able to come up with brand new animals from their imagination, draw them, and explain their behavior.
[My son] rarely talks about what he does in a camp. So when he volunteered information at the end of each day I knew he was loving the camp. The small group allowed him to get to know some of his camp peers and his instructors really well. On the last day of camp, before I even asked his thoughts, he asked ‘do I have any more camps with DigiPen this summer?’ Then he immediately went on to say he wanted to sign up for a bunch of them next summer because he learned so much.
