Cartooning for kids with Ryan Abb- Wednesdays from 4 – 5 starting March 5

Cartooning for Kids with Ryan Abb – a 5 week course on Wednesdays from 4-5 pm for ages 8-12 at the library starting March 5 and going until April 5.

If you love monsters, manga, and art, this is the class for you! Create your own eye-catching comics with stories that will surprise. Drawing on elements of art history, mythical creature design, and cartoonism, this class will help kids tell their own unique stories! Each week will explore a different aspect of the creation of your story and comic.

Supplies will be provided.

Ryan Abb is a graphic novelist and collagist who studied under book artist Warren Lehrer at SUNY Purchase (B.S. Visual Arts, 2005). He has also freelanced as an actor, musician, comedian, and puppeteer and has taught children in summer camp and after-school programs (New Century School, Baltimore, MD).  Ryan has a gift for finding humor, simplifying complicated subjects, creative combination, and establishing a rapport with students. His current dream is to capture imaginations with a sci-fi cartoon starring a clumsy kid from Indonesia who gets caught up in a team of aliens.

Classes will be held every Wednesday from 4 – 5 on March 5, 12, 19, 26 and April 2. Attendance at all classes is recommended.  Space is limited so we ask that all students pre-register at this link.
