What happens when a master cartoonist and a professional architect join forces for an Omega kids’ camp? You get to experience a magical week of creating a comic book and a three-dimensional home for your cartoon characters! First, Karl Gude teaches you how to draw people and animals with different facial expressions and movements, and helps you draw yourself as a cartoon character with super powers. Then Jenny Lee has you dream up and create a 3-D home for your magical creature or superhero. She teaches basic architectural skills such as space planning, sketching, and concept diagrams.
You leave Family Week with your own comic book, a model home complete with furnishings, and the skills to create more projects at home.
Karl Gude knows how to tell a story. As an artist and journalist for more than a quarter of a century, he has helped readers understand complex stories through visual storytelling, from how a baby’s brain works to the attack on the World Trade Center. He also paints and illustrates children’s picture books. Gude teaches visual communication at Michigan State University. KarlGude.com
