Children and youth will dive deep into their imaginations at DIGI-ART, a fun-filled afternoon of hands-on workshops guaranteed to stimulate creativity and expand artistic horizons.

Presented by the Powell Street Festival Society and the Vancouver Japanese Language School, DIGI-ART invites kids ages 4 to 12 to learn new skills and express themselves artistically using digital technology—with practicing Japanese Canadian artists as their instructors.

DIGI-ART features the following workshops:

-Video Workshop with Makiko Yoshii (12:30-2:00 pm)
Students will make a stop-motion video using a Mac laptop and a video camera; a DVD of the final product will be provided as a take-home keepsake.

-Learn to Photograph like a Pro! with Yoshinori Tanaka (12:30-2:00pm)
Students will learn how to take beautiful portrait photographs with their digital cameras.

-Para para Manga! with Kazuho Yamamoto (2:30-4:00pm)
Students will develop a storyboard and create a flipbook.

-Create and Design your own Plush Toy/Tote Bag with Makiko Yoshii (2:30-4:00pm)
Students will design, draw, and sew a fashionable tote or an adorable plush toy, learning valuable skills in Adobe Photoshop (including toolbox, text, and layers) while they’re at it.

Full class descriptions (including required material and age ranges) are available at www.powellstreetfestival.com. To register, contact PSF (604.739.9388 or info@powellstreetfestival.com). Registration closes at 5:00pm on Friday, May 24th.
