Comic Art Craziness for ages 9-12 (in person)

Course description

Dive into the process of creating comic books, from storytelling and character design to the cover art. Explore drawing techniques using a variety of artist tools and materials to create cartoon facial features, as well as characters in motion. Students create and print a collaborative zine, a small-scale, self-published publication, to get creative, share ideas, and have their voices heard. A visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art for inspiration, as well as an exhibition to display everyone’s work for families and friends to admire completes the week. Students take home a copy of the collaborative comic book.

Open to students ages 9–12. Students must meet the age requirement by August 1, 2025. Please review our complete Summer Youth Camps Policies as well as our General Policies before completing your registration. Information about extended care options for ages 6-12 through Children's Theatre Company are included in the Summer Youth Camps Policies page.
