Art Lesson - Cartoon Illustrations
Initial Art Lesson - 2 Dimensional Cartoon Illustrations
Purpose: Teach students the process of creating and illustrating a cartoon
Students often feel they cannot draw. This step-by-step art lesson will show even the most skeptical of talents that drawing can be easy and fun. By breaking the illustration down into simple steps, the children will be able to successfully follow along and create a wonderful drawing. This builds self-confidence and allows children to explore talents that may have been hidden under a blanket of frustration.
Program: Presentation and hands-on drawing exercises
This presentation includes the step-by-step process involved in creating a cartoon character. Each child will participate in a 55 minute art lesson and will be delighted with their final drawing. Everyone will learn how to draw a cartoon character. If colored pencils are available for each child, then shading techniques will be shared with the class.
Program Highlights:
- How to create a cartoon character
- Step-by-step drawing lessons
- Shading techniques with colored pencils
- An autographed original illustration left with each class
Cost: $100 per presentation (maximum of 5 per day), plus 48 cents per mile
