In this class, young artists will build on previous drawing and storytelling skills to become proficient in the art of illustration. Students will learn about sequential storyboarding while developing a strong visual language to tell their own unique stories. Emphasis will be given to individual projects that allow for a full story to be developed from character design to complete rendering in various media. These will include pen and ink, watercolor, and an array of drawing materials used in cartooning.
Well known illustrators, including Maurice Sendak, Eric Carle and Edward Gorey, will be showcased for inspiration. Young artists will learn proper terminology and delve deep into the professional applications of this medium. Bring your skills, enthusiasm and passion for drawing and let us help you take it to the next level!
