Mini Comics Camp: A Drawing, Illustrating, and Storytelling Workshop
Mini Comics Camp: A Drawing, Illustrating, and Storytelling Workshop
For ages 11-15
Let’s make comics!
In this week long camp, we’ll make some mini comics based on your interests. Adventure? Sounds good. Diary comics? We’re in. Diagram comics? Let’s try it out.
Artist and teacher Brian Herrick will walk students through the process of brainstorming comic book ideas, learning how to draw and illustrate those ideas, and finally scanning their mini comics in for printing! We will get inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, Little Lulu and some cartoonists you may have never heard of. Or, bring your own comic books to share!
Students will all go home with a stack of their printed mini comics to share with family and friends.
July 24th-28th, 2023 | 1:30pm to 3:30pm
