I am happy to announce my second Cartoon Art Camp class at the Cartoon Art Museum is official – Making Mini Comics. The last one in June was really fun.

Thanks to modern reproduction techniques we can easily make our own books featuring our own art. These are great for gifts or to sell. Where some classes focus on drawing this one will be about taking ones are and making it into something else, a book. The class is small so there is lots of one-on-one custom help for the kids.

Below is the official press release:

CARTOON ART CAMP:
Making Mini-Comics
August 7th through 11th, 2006 from 12pm to 2pm
$100 for non-members ($80 for CAM members)

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.
