Welcome to Create a Cartoon Character, a club where we will create cartoon characters in ways that are easy and fun. Enjoy art, but have no confidence? Let me teach you how to use simple shapes to draw anything. This method will help you see the simple shapes in everything around you and improve your observational drawing skills. In this club, you will learn to create cartoon characters using simple drawing techniques. You will learn to draw shapes and turn them into objects or other things, such as animals. From there, you will turn them into cartoon characters. After that, you will create a background for your pieces. Each week, you will learn to create a new cartoon character with a different shape. While shapes and characters will change every week, the activity's format will remain the same. In each activity, participants are guided with step by step instructions so that they can create cartoon characters with confidence. Most importantly, activities are structured so that you will be able to unleash your creativity and have fun. Activity Schedule: Week of April 21: Drawing a cartoon dinosaur using an oval. Week of April 28: Drawing a cartoon angelfish using a triangle. Week of May 5: Drawing a cartoon crab using an oval. Week of May 12: Drawing a cartoon ice cream pop using a rectangle. Whether you are an experienced artist or just starting, we will embark on a journey to creating super cool and wonderful cartoon characters. Get ready to learn an awesome skill that will be useful in many ways.

Teacher expertise and credentials
2 Degrees
Bachelor's Degree in Theatre Arts from Rutgers University
Associate's Degree from ITT-Tech
I've been an artist since I was a child. I took art classes in elementary and middle school. I also took them in college. I was a Theatre Arts major at Rutgers University with a concentration in Production and Design. I was also a Computer Drafting and Design major at ITT-Tech. I worked in theatre as a set designer and a technician. I was also a draftsman in the engineering field for 11 years. While in those careers, I freelanced as a designer and an artist. I sold art pieces that I created (both originals and prints) and did a mural.
