XCAM006 - The Art of Cartooning: Ages 13-14

Course Description

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

IMPORTANT:

• All K-12 and Pre-College students are required to complete and return a Summer Youth Camp Mandatory Forms Packet prior to admittance into the classroom. Students will not be permitted to attend without this.
• $40 Materials Kit: A $40 materials fee is included in the camp tuition.
