Doodle + Comics for kids

Ages 8-11 | Registration Required

Time to let your imagination come to life! We'll start with a conversation about the unique mechanics of how comics can tell stories. Then we'll cover how to come up with a storyline and develop a character. Doodle exercises will help us to generate ideas and by the end of the program you will be quickly filing panels with narration and imagery.
