Calendar of Library Programs

Make collage art with Miss Kim! For ages 3+

This program is for ages 8 to 17. At the Do Art Productions Comic Book Workshop, we will explore the different languages of comics, from the eyes, to body posture, to the actual language within speech bubbles.  The workshop is interactive and very creative with little tricks and turns to keep engagement.  With a dynamic pose drawing exercise you may see juggling axolotls, flying giraffes, or dabbing pandas.  After seeing how easy cartooning and creative expression can be, we will generate a comic together out of the characters and creativity of the first half! 
 
This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
