The Cartoon Art Museum is proud to announce its first Cartoon Art Camp, a series of cartooning classes for intermediate level artists from 10 to 14 years old. The class will be taught by cartoonist Brian Kolm, creator of the comic book series Beyond the Great Chimney (www.atomicbearpress.com). Kolm has been teaching classes at the Cartoon Art Museum since 2002, and has also taught at the Charles M. Schulz Museum, 826 Valencia and ZEUM.
The class will meet for five consecutive days, Monday through Friday, from 12pm to 2pm, for a week-long journey of character creation. From initial concept to final character design, students will learn the ins and outs of character creation, including the rendering of 3-dimensional objects, establishing perspective, layout, creating a unique personality and appearance for your characters and other basic skills. At the conclusion of this workshop, each student will present his or her work to fellow students in a show and tell session.
The cost of the class is $100 for non-members, and $80 for members of The Cartoon Art Museum. [Please note that those with Individual CAM memberships may apply their own membership discount to students who wish to register in the class, one discounted fee per Individual membership.] All basic drawing materials for this class are covered by the registration fee. The class size is limited, and seats must be paid in advance to guarantee placement. Full refund for cancellations made prior to June 19th.
