Storyboarding

This month, students learned storyboarding and the process of planning out a comic using a script and created a single-page rough draft.  Next class date in September to be announced soon!

Studio Ghibli's "My Neighbor Totoro"

It didn't matter to this sister duo that other teen participants were out of town for summer vacation-- they wanted to learn about Japanese animation Studio Ghibli's "My Neighbor Totoro" and create some art! That just meant more special one-on-one time for just the two of them :) Next class will be on Friday, August 30th at 6 PM!

The World of Jack Kirby, Osamu Tezuka, and more!

Fantastic Friday nights at Teen Art Class! Participants delved into the captivating world of comic book art, inspired by the legendary Jack Kirby of Marvel and Hanna-Barbera fame and legendary Japanese manga animator Osamu Tezuka. From learning to craft storyboards and draw their own manga covers to indulging in pizza and soda, these classes have been a blast! Can't wait for the next FREE Art Experience Class: Teen Edition on Friday, July 19th!

Creating essential Manga components

Our teen art classes are an observation of legendary animes and an exploration of creativity and self-expression. Participants have been taking the time to learn the intricacies and details necessary to develop their own anime creations. Can't wait for the next FREE Art Experience Class: Teen Edition on Friday, July 19th!
