In this camp, professional cartoonist Mister Smart will share the skills of making your own comics. He will guide campers through the entire process, including character design, story creation, drawing techniques for backgrounds, page layouts, dialog, and more. Although the skills campers will practice are real, the camp itself is not a class! It's a fun week for kids who love art and storytelling, and includes break times for snacks and outdoor play. At the end of the week, campers will take home with their own graphic novel or comic!Campers can find inspiration for their artwork in the historic James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, and its large collection of nineteenth-century illustrated books and magazines. They will head "behind the ropes" and enjoy special access to the different rooms and handle some of the 100 year-old books from our extensive library.About the CampWho: For campers 3rd grade through those entering 7th grade.When: July 13-17, 1pm-4pm.Where: 528 Lockerbie St., Indianapolis, IN 46202 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/575f44c0-f660-11f0-8e5b-4f7938ae4880-rimg-w555-h740-dc916043-gmir.jpg Who is Mr. Smart?Josh Smart has been a professional cartoonist in Indianapolis for 23 years.
