Comics & Characters

Take your cartooning skills to the next level in this dynamic drawing class for young artists who love characters, comics, and animation! Through examples in class and a visit to MAM’s exhibitions, you will explore how professional artists and cartoonists use shape, expression, movement, and storytelling to create memorable characters and action-packed scenes. Draw inspiration from comics, animated series, graphic novels, and your own imagination as you experiment with character design, dynamic poses, facial expressions, and visual storytelling techniques. Students will also draw inspiration from MAM's new exhibition, WHAT, ME WORRY? THE ART AND HUMOR OF MAD MAGAZINE, exploring how cartoonists use humor, characters, and visual storytelling to engage audiences! Work with a variety of drawing tools and mixed media while building confidence in your artistic style.
