There will be six drawing sessions each day and each session will consist of a tutorial and a fun game! Seating is limited but everyone is welcomed to watch. Join us for all of the nonsense and tomfoolery!

August is a Wish Your Art Makes: Today, we kick off a week of drawing videos all involving the parks of Walt Disney World and Disneyland! In this very special video, Drew T Drawtopus gets to meet his two favorite sisters, Anna and Elsa.
We have had this video in the archives for a while (Drew looks so young!) and we are pleased to finally post it for all to see. Watch Drew interact with the Snow Queen and her sister at a character meet and greet in Arendelle… or umm… the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. Continue reading
We had a great weekend at Henry Ford Museum participating in Maker Faire Detroit. The artists of Camp PencilPoint had a blast drawing with hundreds of kids and parents! It was great to see all ages participating in each drawing session: from 3 to 30 to 300 (we believe there was one guy in the back of one session, but he didn’t look a day over 298!) Over the course of both Saturday and Sunday, we held 12 drawing sessions. Each was kicked off with a grand entrance by our lady of the bagpipes Emily, followed by a step by step drawing of an owl, a bear or a llama with Joe Foo and finished with a hilarious game of “Exquisite Corpse”.
Thank you to all of the Camp PencilPointers that joined us for these sessions and thank you to everyone that shared their wonderful artwork with us. You are all amazing and inspiring! It goes to show that creativity is always better when it is a shared experience. Continue reading
