Class Experience

This class is structured by exploring popular cartooning conventions used and how they can vary through style. All classes will begin with a fifteen to twenty minute lecture on the lesson topic. The remainder of the class time will be spent using what the students have learned in that lesson through in-class assignments. Feed-back and encouragement will be given while students are drawing. This course will conclude with one fun homework assignment demonstrating the use of some of the drawing conventions and lessons learned in this course.

Learning Goals

	Lesson 1: Cartooning as a career and hobby: marketplace exploration and psychological benefits

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Kelene McCaffrey
Creating comics and cartoons is something I have done since childhood. I have used this interest and talent for fun, and for work. For example, I had the privilege to work with an advertising company that hired Disney-ready artists to create their signature-style cartoon maps! So if you would like your child to have a teacher who can explore both the creative side and the business side of cartooning and comics in a way that is both intriguing and fun, then I'm that instructor!
