<H1> ZONE! </H1> |
<H2> </H2> |
<H2> PAPER CAMP </H2> |
<H2> is part </H2> |
<H2> PAPER PLAYGROUND </H2> |
<H2> and part </H2> |
<H2> CREATIVITY GYM. </H2> |
<H2> </H2> |
<H2> We will be PLAY/WORKING </H2> |
<H2> with </H2> |
<H2> SCISSORS, </H2> |
<H2> PAPER, </H2> |
<H2> and GLUE. </H2> |

<H2> WHO COMES TO </H2> |
<H2> PAPER CAMP? </H2> |
<H2> WHY COME TO PAPER CAMP? </H2> |
<H2> </H2> |
<H2> PAPER CAMP </H2> |
<H2> IS A </H2> |
<H2> EFFORT over OUTCOME. </H2> |
<H2> CULTURE of EXPERIMENTING. </H2> |
<H2> Cutting paper </H2> |
<H2> does NOT </H2> |
<H2> require drawing! </H2> |
<H2> </H2> |
<H2> DEBRA'S PAPER CAMP. </H2> |
<H2> A PLACE TO BUILD </H2> |
<H2> CREATIVE CONFIDENCE </H2> |
<H2> "Debra is just like her books, genuine, warm, and true." </H2> |
<H2> GETTING READY FOR YOUR ARRIVAL! </H2> |
<H3> ALL AGES. Mom. Dad. Sister. Brother. Grandmother. Grandfather. Anyone you can rustle up. Have them around the table or gather them on Zoom. </H3> |
<H3> ...BECAUSE </H3> |
<H3> "FEAR OF STARTING" </H3> |
<H3> IS A THING NOW. </H3> |
<H3> Adults. Kids. Everyone is feeling the pressures. Taking risks, even little ones, is getting harder. Feeling the JOY of creating and the PRIDE of making something is more elusive. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> We learned to walk because we fell A MILLION TIMES! </H3> |
<H3> (THOSE WERE NOT </H3> |
<H3> A MILLION MISTAKES! </H3> |
<H3> THOSE WERE A MILLION TRIES.) </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> We learned to write the alphabet because we scribbled </H3> |
<H3> A MILLION TIMES! </H3> |
<H3> (THOSE WERE NOT </H3> |
<H3> A MILLION MISTAKES, </H3> |
<H3> THOSE WERE A MILLION TRIES.) </H3> |
<H3> AND REMEMBER HOW IT WASN'T LIKE WORK—IT WAS A LOT OF </H3> |
<H3> PLAYING AROUND. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> In PAPER CAMP 101 we are going to learn to value </H3> |
<H3> In PAPER CAMP 101 we aim to build a </H3> |
<H3> Unlike drawing or painting, PAPER can be moved around easily so we can have </H3> |
<H3> A MILLION TRIES very easily. </H3> |
<H3> We PRACTICE starting from zero again and again, getting progressively comfortable with the unknown. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> This has parallels in all parts of life. </H3> |
<H3> Fears melt when you know there are a lot of options within limits. We simply get more comfortable with starting. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> Even DADS RELAX. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> And SCISSORS get easier to use as we gain spatial skills that transfer to everything from athletics to engineering. </H3> |
<H3> In fact, I ask you to lock away your pencils during our sessions. </H3> |
<H3> </H3> |
<H3> You can cut MUCH MORE THAN YOU CAN DRAW! Trust me on this—I have worked with THOUSANDS of people of all ages. </H3> |
<H3> CREATIVE SKILLS & MINDSETS </H3> |
<H3> In all our classes we make things but woven into the experience is a way to think about what we do: A "mindset". Dr. Carol Dweck's book, MINDSET, has had a deep impact on my teaching and I highly recommend it for teens, parents, and teachers. </H3> |
<H3> If you want to have fun with your kids while building creative skills that will last a lifetime, join me in </H3> |

<H3> creative stimulus </H3> |
<H3> and accompaniment, </H3> |
<H3> come join me in a class in </H3> |
<H3> Paper Camp 101: MASTERCLASS. </H3> |
<H3> If you sense that a child in your care is beginning to feel </H3> |
<H3> pressures that limit their </H3> |
<H3> creative potential, let's try </H3> |
<H3> Paper Camp 101: </H3> |
<H3> MASTERCLASS, together. </H3> |
<H3> WHO IS DEBRA? </H3> |
<H3> EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT! </H3> |
<H3> SIMPLE SUPPLIES </H3> |
<H3> YOU WILL NEED TO BRING </H3> |
<H3> TO PAPER CAMP: </H3> |
<H4> </H4> |
<H4> MASTERCLASS: Let's Build Your Family's </H4> |
<H4> Creative Muscles, TOGETHER! </H4> |
<H4> </H4> |
<H4> </H4> |
<H4> I'm the author & illustrator, Debra Frasier. I have made award-winning picture books out of SCISSORS, PAPER & GLUE. Along the way I've learned techniques and tricks to keep my Creative Muscles strong! </H4> |
<H4> </H4> |
<H4> At Paper Camp I am going to share all my secrets WITH YOU—and you will see your Creative Muscles strengthen right before your eyes. </H4> |
<H4> Here's what I mean: WATCH THE FLEXIBILITY, INVENTIVENESS & FUN HERE! </H4> |
<H4> (For the Art. The Fun. The Accompaniment. The Joy. The Practice. The Play. The Color. The Learning. The Making. And also...) </H4> |
<H4> IF "FEAR OF STARTING" </H4> |
<H4> HAD STOPPED US FROM TRYING, </H4> |
<H4> WE MIGHT STILL BE CRAWLING </H4> |
<H4> AROUND THE LIVING ROOM— </H4> |
<H4> </H4> |
<H4> —TRUSTING, (not JUDGING) our TRIES </H4> |
<H4> is how our creative muscles gain strength. </H4> |

<H4> DEBRA'S PAPER CAMP! </H4> |
<H4> SCISSORS, PAPER & GLUE! </H4> |
<H4> "Also, I just wanted to mention how inspiring you were to me personally. I know the kids had a great time, but I was surprised that I myself was so touched by your presentation as well…I believe listening to you speak nudged me toward myself abit, perhaps just enough to force my hand, literally." </H4> |
<H4> TENTATIVE PRICING & DONATIONS: </H4> |
<H5> </H5> |
<H5> </H5> |
<H5> Debra Frasier's first picture book, On the Day You Were Born became an instant classic. Winner of the 1991 Parents Choice Gold Award, this book continues to welcome children around the world to Planet Earth. Debra's subsequent books have won numerous awards, been celebrated by Oprah, and her book, Miss Alaineus (miscellaneous!), A Vocabulary Disaster, annually inspires thousands of kids to dress up as words for memorable Vocabulary Parades in schools nationwide. Each of her picture books are illustrated with these three things: </H5> |
<H5> Thousands of Cut-Paper Students! </H5> |
<H5> "How fantastic you were! We were blown away by your wonderful presentation. As soon as we left the session the kids all wanted to make straight lines on paper and cut out shapes. You were so entertaining and engaging with the kids and we ALL really enjoyed it. Thank you for a wonderful day! </H5> |
<H5> You are truly inspirational." </H5> |
<H5> It is important to note the following major difference with PAPER CAMP classes as compared to other online art classes: This is NOT a: "Now let's all make a lizard" class! We will not be trying to match an image or identical outcome that I am modeling! I offer clear guidelines to our projects and then we each go in the direction we want. (And this is why we can be an ALL AGES classroom.) This is how we build that creative muscle I was talking about! </H5> |
<H5> SOON you can push open the PAPER CAMP door! Meanwhile, I am busy with preparations for your arrival—gathering papers, glues, scissors, videos, samples, stories, music, and weaving it all into a series of sessions that will strengthen our creative muscles, together. </H5> |
