With Johnny Barlanti
Four Week Class for Kids Age 6-10
Saturdays 2-4pm
Fee: $100
Johnny takes students back to basics with creativity & a pencil in this 4-week program! Students will use light guidelines to design cartoon faces with different expressions, eyes, eyebrows, noses and mouths. Using very simple shapes, students will learn to draw dynamic cartoon characters. Students will create their own story in a comic strip, placing their character into 2-4 panels. Students will use speech bubbles, captions, and backgrounds to enhance the comic strip. Students will ink their story with a black marker, and coloring their story will be encouraged!
