XCHL8002 - Cartooning for Kids: Ages 9-12

Course Description

Everyone has a story to tell. When we combine character drawings, environments, and dialogue (and sometimes jokes), these stories become cartoons! This course gets everyone drawing their own cartoon characters on the first day, and then dives into techniques for visual storytelling. Students learn approaches to drawing just about anything along with ways to come up with plots and stories for their cartoons. By the conclusion of this course, each student will have a finished comic strip ready to submit to his or her school newspaper or website.

Included in Course Price: $40 (materials provided by instructor)

IMPORTANT:

• On the first day of class, ALL students must check in with Extension staff in the lobby of the Ahmanson Building before attending class.
