Crazy Creature Combos - Creating Creatures With Crazy Combinations!

This is a beginner-to-intermediate surrealist cartooning class. Students learn to draw a simple yet robust visual vocabulary of "creature parts", which they use to improvise an array of surprising and original characters.

Class Activities

In this one-time class, the teacher will demonstrate the craft of spontaneous character generation and rapid cartoon illustration.  Students develop unique characters which are randomly generated from a large and growing list of creature parts.  They visually interpret these parts in their own way, then test their imagination using improvisational, idea-generating techniques to draw surprising creature conglomerations.


"Creature Cuisinart":

The majority of class...


There is no specific homework or outside reading required for this class.  However, these books and movies inform the general art styles students will learn:  "Where the Wild Things Are",  "ParaNorman", "The 130 Storey TreeHouse", "Aliens vs Monsters'', "The Nightmare Before Christmas".


-Lots of white A4 (printer) paper (or similar)

-Thick black pens, sharpies, pencils, and erasers (colored markers optional)

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
