and Self-esteem.
An all ages presentation and workshop on how to create and draw fun cartoon characters!
No artistic knack needed, just a desire to have fun drawing!
COMIC ART WORKSHOP
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 12 AND UP who draw fairly well and have an interest in comics.
This is not a "how to draw" class. Reggie takes the youth through an hour and a half workshop about the comic business, the process of creating your own comic book.
CARICATURES
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 12 AND UP who draw fairly well and have an interest in cartooning. Reggie introduces the art of creating a "Caricature", which is basically a "bobble-headed" cartoon version of a person. The students get to draw from from a photo of a well known face and attempt to create a caricature of that personality.
CHIBI ART!
An all ages presentation and workshop on how to create and draw japanese caricatures known as "chibis." Very easy and fun!
WARNING: Creating chibis are addictive. Your child may end up drawing these cute characters day and night once they learn how to in this delightful workshop!
KIDZ OF THE KING DVD PRESENTATION
Reggie Byers' KIDZ OF THE KING is not only a comic book, but a fantastic animated cartoon on DVD! A general viewing of the cartoon is presented (your organization should ideally have a large screen projector or TV and a DVD player for viewing) and afterward, Reggie facilitates a discussion / presentation about what it means to be "created for a purpose."
The DVD and comic books are made available for purchase after the presentation.
