SUMMARY:Art and Storytime
DESCRIPTION:The art of storytelling is thousands of years old. Histories or morals\, each story that has existed puts pictures in the mind. Visual artists become illustrators of the world through the storytelling of their own mental images instead of words. \nIn this class\, students will listen to a story to inspire them to create an artwork of their own impressions of the story. Students will create a 3D collage inspired by a scene from the story. \nAges 5-8 \nSaturday\, August 22nd \n10:30 am – 12 pm \nRegistration Fee: $28.50    Supply Fee: $5

SUMMARY:Cartoon Character Development
DESCRIPTION:Great cartooning is more than just drawing—it’s about writing and world-building! In this expanded two-session workshop\, students follow a professional creator’s protocol: first\, designing a character’s “soul” and silhouette; second\, developing a unique storyline; and finally\, placing them into a detailed indoor or outdoor setting. \nBy focusing on the architecture of a character rather than rushing into full comics\, participants will master dynamic posing and personality development to ensure their creations are ready for any adventure. \nThe workshop takes place in our Digital Arts Lab\, offering students the best of both worlds. Whether they prefer drawing manually or want to explore our professional desktop workstations and drawing tablets\, they will have the tools and time needed to refine their work. \nStudents will walk away with a complete character “blueprint” including varied poses\, a narrative foundation\, and a background scene—the essential first steps for any aspiring cartoonist or storyteller. \nAges 8-14 \nSaturdays 3-5 pm \nAugust 22-29 \nRegistration Fee: $76          Supply Fee: $6
