Learn to draw, sculpt, digitally model, and prototype your own unique toys and action figures. Campers first develop a character by creating a series of traditional illustrations and models before drawing the toy version of the character at scale using drafting conventions and equipment. Drawing inspiration from both classic and contemporary toys- and the cartoons or stories that accompany them- students develop their toy design, including the toy’s accessories and packaging. For the final project, a plastic prototype of each camper's design is made using 3D printing technology at SAIC's Advanced Output Center.
