Cartoon Art: Comic Book Art and Creative Drama

Join us to explore the whimsical world of cartoon drawing in this week-long session of camp. Focusing on exaggeration and action techniques, inking, coloring and more, we’ll draw several well-known cartoon and anime characters, superheroes and video game characters. Then we’ll create our own! Students will also have the choice to create either their own comic strip or a graphic novel page for their favorite book.  In the creative drama portion of the day, we’ll bring our characters to life!
