Welcome to the world of Cartooning! Students will have fun while learning the basics of cartoon drawing in this energetic and friendly class. This class is both product and process oriented with the instructor leading students through projects in classic cartooning, character development, anime, comics, and more! Students typically complete multiple drawings per week and quickly develop a wide variety of cartooning skills to add to their artist's tool kit. The students will use their own ideas and style, as well as inspiration from many cartoons / cartoonists. The history of cartoons will be explored showing genres, such as animation, comic strips, greeting cards, book illustrations, etc. Through demonstrations and examples, they will learn how to fine tune their drawing skills. They will practice gesture drawings, shape building techniques, expression/attitude poses, movement and more. Students will be using pencil, ink pens, colored pencils and watercolor to bring their cartoons to life.

Students enjoy an atmosphere of excitement and friend making in this class, as they get to meet and work alongside other young artists with the same interests as them. Join in on the fun on Tuesday nights and let your creativity run wild!
