This summer the Columbia Art League is hosting Young Artists’ Summer Art Camps, and one of the camps is a Creative Cartooning course. The camp is June 21st to 25th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Here’s the class description from the website:
Campers get creative with cartooning. They invent their own comically cute or creepy character or superhero, and refine sketches into full color illustrations that pack a punch. They add text to tell tales or let daring drawings stand alone.
To sign up for the class visit the Columbia Art League website.
