BIMA Summer Camps – Comics: Words & Pictures

AGES 11–13

Comics, manga, and graphic novels all combine words and pictures to tell amazing stories. In this step-by-step class, young cartoonists will learn the basics of character design, story development, page layout, penciling, editing, and inking techniques through fun and challenging explorations designed to inspire creativity and ignite a desire to write and DRAW stories!

Each day of camp includes a supervised lunch break & recess at the Waterfront Park and Playground.
