Is this a step-by-step “draw exactly like the instructor” class?

No. Students will be taught character-design principles, techniques, and problem-solving approaches, but they are encouraged to make their own artistic choices and develop their own style.

What happens if my student misses one of the three days?

The camp builds progressively from concept to final illustration, so missed sessions are not made up. If a student misses part of camp, the instructor will help them rejoin the project as reasonably as possible when they return.

Can my student attend only one day instead of the full camp?

Possibly. Single-day drop-in spots may be released after full-camp registration closes, depending on remaining capacity. Drop-in availability is not guaranteed.

What should my student bring with them?

Required art materials are provided. Students may bring a preferred sketchbook or personal drawing tools if they like, along with a closed water bottle and any permitted snack.

Description

Roll for a profession and a plant, then fuse them into one original character. Students will use shape language, costuming, posing, and prop design to make their character’s identity readable at a glance. Over three days, they’ll build from an initial concept to a finished illustration, then showcase their work at the end of camp.

This group fall break art camp is designed to strengthen creative problem-solving through drawing and character design. No advanced art experience is required. Beginners are welcome. The goal isn’t to draw like the instructor. It’s to explore your own style, strengthen your design choices, and leave with a character that feels yours.

Meet us in The Classroom in the South Huntsville Library at the Sandra Moon complex. Three hour afternoon instruction for three days. Each students gets their own curated take-home art kit!

[The HMCPL does not sponsor this event.]

Agenda

Day 1

Concept & Character Foundations Students dice roll a profession and plant, explore how those ideas can be combined, and begin developing their character through shape language, silhouette, costume ideas, and visual personality.
All day

Day 2

Design Development & Refinement Students strengthen their concept by working through posing, proportions, props, and clearer design choices. The focus is on making the character feel more believable, readable, and consistent from idea to illustration.
All day

Day 3

Final Illustration & Showcase Students bring everything together in a finished character illustration, applying what they’ve learned about composition, presentation, and visual storytelling. The camp ends with a showcase of each student’s completed character and design process.

Refund policy

Cancellation & Refund Policy 3-Day Studio Intensive — Petites Étoiles Atelier LLC Cancellation Request Procedure Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Petites Étoiles Atelier's business email. The date and time the request is received determines which cancellation tier applies. Requests made by other means (verbal, social media comment or message, etc.) are not effective until received at the business email. Customer Cancellation & Refund Timeline The 14-day and 7-day periods below refer to calendar days, not business days. Refunds are calculated based on the amount actually paid by the family, including any Early Bird discount applied at the time of registration — not the current published tuition price. Cancellations requested 14 or more calendar days before Day 1: eligible for a full refund. Cancellations requested between 7 and 13 calendar days before Day 1: the refund will be reduced by the material kit fee disclosed for that program at registration, representing materials already reserved for that student. The remaining registration balance will be refunded. Cancellations requested less than 7 calendar days before Day 1, or after the program begins: strictly non-refundable and non-transferable, due to pre-paid facility and material commitments. Material Kit Fee & Unclaimed Kits The material kit fee for a given program is disclosed on that program's registration page at the time of purchase. For a cancellation in the 7–13 day window, the reserved kit may be picked up during scheduled program hours on Day 1. Kits not collected by the end of Day 1 will not be stored and may be returned to Petites Étoiles Atelier inventory. No additional refund will be issued for an unclaimed kit. Student Absence, No-Show & Early Departure Failure to attend, late arrival, early departure, or missing one or more days of a multi-day program generally does not create a refund or prorated tuition. The registered seat and materials for that student have already been reserved regardless of attendance. Minimum Enrollment If a cohort does not meet the studio's minimum operational enrollment threshold 14 calendar days before Day 1, the program will be cancelled and all registered families will receive a full refund of the amount paid. Studio Cancellation If Petites Étoiles Atelier cancels the entire program before it begins, registered families may accept a rescheduled program date if one is offered, or receive a full refund of the amount paid. Weather, Facility Closure & Circumstances Beyond the Studio's Control If a program session cannot be held because of severe weather, an unexpected facility closure, government or emergency restrictions, utility failure, or another circumstance outside Petites Étoiles Atelier's reasonable control, the studio will first make reasonable efforts to reschedule the affected instructional time. If rescheduling is not reasonably possible, Petites Étoiles Atelier will provide a refund or, with the family's agreement, a studio credit for the canceled instructional portion of the program. Any calculation may exclude materials or other nonrecoverable program components that have already been provided to or reserved for the student. Petites Étoiles Atelier will communicate the available resolution to registered families as soon as reasonably possible. Registration Transfers A registration may be transferred to another eligible student only with prior approval from Petites Étoiles Atelier. Transfer requests must be received at least 7 calendar days before Day 1. The replacement student must meet the program's age and participation requirements and must complete all required registration forms before attending. Transfers are not guaranteed and may be declined when materials, roster limits, venue requirements, or other program considerations make a transfer impractical. Registrations are non-transferable within 7 calendar days of Day 1 or after the program has begun. Refund Processing & Payment Processing Fees Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing time may vary depending on the payment processor or financial institution and is not guaranteed by Petites Étoiles Atelier. Petites Étoiles Atelier's payment processor does not return the original transaction's processing fee when a refund is issued. When Petites Étoiles Atelier cancels a program, the family receives a full refund of the amount paid, and the processing fee is absorbed by the studio. When a customer cancellation qualifies for a refund under this policy, the refund is calculated according to the tuition and material terms above; no separate processing-fee deduction is applied. Governing Law This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, and any disputes arising from it will be resolved in Madison County, Alabama.

Website

Petites Étoiles Atelier is a Huntsville-based character design academy built for artists who want to learn how to create characters with more intention, confidence, and personality.

We offer classes, camps, workshops, and specialty programs for youth and adults, with lessons that can cover drawing fundamentals, shape language, expressions, posing, costumes, props, comics, and visual storytelling. Some programs are structured and sequential, while others are short creative experiences designed to let artists explore a specific idea or skill.

Beginners are always welcome, and more experienced artists can use the same lessons to push their work further. My goal is to make character design feel approachable without watering it down—to give students real tools they can keep using long after a class ends.

Petites Étoiles is also proudly human-made. All artwork, demonstrations, and instruction come from an artist, with no generative AI used in the creative process.

Most of all, I want this to be a place where artists can try things, ask questions, make mistakes, build confidence, and leave with work that feels like their own.

Inspiring every artist to shine.
