COMIC BOOKS AND SEQUENTIAL ART

DAVID FERREIRA, Visiting Artist
Four Tuesdays, beginning August 5
6:30pm-9:30pm

If you have an interest in comic books, creating character driven stories and like to draw, this class is for you! Whether you love Super-heros, Sci-fi, Manga, Fantasy or Comedy, the structure within is all the same. We will touch on all the essential tools you'll need to understand the comic book medium. Students will learn all the fundamentals of story-telling art. You will be introduced to several forms of art in the world of comics, from the classic Sunday morning funnies to contemporary main stream and independent comics. Students will learn techniques for developing a story outline, page layout, character design, drawing with perspective, inking and tips on lettering their comics. Using these new techniques, students will then be challenged to develop their own short story by creating a rough outline, several sketches and four pages of finished art. Students should have rudimentary drawing skills and love to draw. Figure drawing or anatomy experience may be helpful but is not necessary. Students are asked to bring with them a medium sized sketchbook. Fee payable with tuition for materials $25.00.

Tuition $100.00
Members $80.00

Spend time with your family and friends one Sunday a month and discover your creative side together! We provide the materials. You decide what you want to create and bring the art home with you. Sign up for one or all three! Make some time to make some art together!

Two Sundays, May 4 and June 8
1:00pm - 2:30pm
$15.00 for up to three people;
$5.00 for each additional person.

SESSION B: SUNDAY, MAY 4
Mother's Day Magic
Show her you care by making Mom something special to wear or display. She will treasure your gift and the time you made it together.

Celebrate with Clay
Get ready for Father's Day by spending time with Dad making his best present ever! Think about what you want to create with clay before you come.

Birthday parties are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, morning or afternoon, and allow time for an art activity, cake and presents. The cost is $100 for 5 children minimum; $15 for each additional child. Reservations must be made a minimum of two weeks in advance, and a deposit is due before the party in order to secure the date. One of our teachers will call you to discuss a suitable project in this brochure for your child and his or her guests. CLICK HERE for more information.
