from the press release:

The Cartoon Art Museum is proud to announce its second class as part of the 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, and ZEUM.

The class will meet for five consecutive days, Monday through Friday, from 12pm to 2pm, for a intensive class on creating a mini comic book. The students will learn how to take their artistic skills and create a complete one-to-two page comic story that will then be compiled into a class-produced anthology. This class will cover storytelling, layout and rendering of the comic page(s) as well as formatting the work for print and creating a completed book using common desktop publishing tools. At the end of the session, each student will receive a copy of the completed class comic book.

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 August 1st.
