School Aged Classes
Comics, Cartoons and Characters: Caricatures and creating comic strips is what we will dive into in this comical week. Peanuts, Loony Tunes and our own imaginary friends will come to life as we learn to draw, tell stories and express ourselves. No Manga or Anime will be covered, only the classics.
