Getting into Character

The Coleman Center welcomed our campers back today after a beautiful weekend!

The Rock Stars kicked off their week with a review and critique of each of their amazing alter egos. From a fierce trendsetter and an entrepreneurial hairdresser to an introverted emo avenger and a virtuoso do-all grandma, these alter egos are detailed, thoughtful and beautiful! Stay tuned throughout the week for portraits of Rock Stars and their alter egos! Later, the Rock Stars turned the stories of their alter egos into incredible comic strips. They also experimented with making thaumatropes, a flat disk with images on either side connected to a string that, when twirled quickly between the fingers,  rotates the disk so that the two pictures appear to combine into a single image. These thaumatropes take planning and persistence to be successful, and the Rock Stars did an amazing job!

Meanwhile, the Paris Heats used props borrowed from the University of West Alabama theater department to bring different characters and sides of their personalities to life. Check some of them out below!
