1 WEEK SESSION
Monday - Friday, 9 am - 4 pm (aftercare available)
August 25, 26, 27, 28, 29

Grades 3-5

Campers in this hands-on stop motion + fine art making filmmaking camp explore the magical fun of this classic filmmaking technique. Our young filmmakers will work in small production groups to design and create unique clay worlds and plasticine characters and will bring them to life using professional grade software "DragonFrame Stop Motion". Students will use DSLR cameras and Mac laptops and have a chance to record their own sound effects during a foley exercise. Voice-overs will be recorded after the voice actors have been selected. Finally, the campers will get in front of the lens themselves during a "pixilation" exercise (the animation of living subjects). The finished animated short films will be edited together with sound and music and will be shown at the studio and shared via a protected online link. Visitors to our Vimeo page can download the film to view again and again.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

“Once a Tree: Continuity, Creativity, and Connection” explores the deep-rooted significance of trees in Haudenosaunee culture, tradition, and creative expression. Featuring the work of 42 artists and more than 100 objects—including decorative and utilitarian baskets, cradleboards, snowshoes, ladles, lacrosse sticks, toys, instruments, carvings, and sleds—this exhibition highlights the important relationship between nature and artistry. Selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition was created with guidance from curatorial consultants Terry Chrisjohn III (Oneida), Preston Jacobs (Mohawk), and Sheila Ransom (Mohawk).

"Separated but Unbroken: The Haudenosaunee Boarding School Experience" explores the lasting impact of the Thomas Indian School, once located on the Cattaraugus Reservation south of Buffalo, NY, and The Mohawk Institute near Branford, Ontario. These institutions, which enrolled a significant number of Haudenosaunee students, were part of a larger system that sought to erase Indigenous identities while deeply shaping the lives of those who endured them. Co-curated by Erin Keaton (Mohawk), the exhibition sheds light on Haudenosaunee resilience.
