The UT Department of Art will offer two summer workshops for students ages 9 through high school. June 5-9, MANGA/ANIME will be held in the morning and WIZARD SCHOOL in the afternoon. The cost is $60 per workshop or $105 to take both workshops.
 
MANGA/ANIME
In this 5-day workshop, students will explore Manga and Anime design techniques across a range of media - hand-painted shoes, digital design, hats and more. Participants should bring a pair of new, white canvas tennis shoes; all other materials are provided.
 
WIZARD SCHOOL
When students “graduate” from this 5-day Wizard School, they’ll be equipped to unleash their creative inner wizard. Participants will make a wand; design a Wizardry crest; concoct potion bottles; build a dark forest terrarium; create a plush creature; and develop and play wizard games. All materials are provided.
 
Both workshops will be held in the UT Center for the Visual Arts (CVA), 620 Art Museum Drive, next to the Toledo Museum of Art. Free parking is available in the lot adjacent to the CVA. During the workshops, parents are welcome tour the CVA and/or visit the Toledo Museum of Art.
