Creative Cartooning

Cartoons are the absolute inspiration for this fun and easy to follow workshop. If you are a passionate toon buff or even a basic beginner who would like to explore some cartoon creativity, then this workshop is set to take you on a little toon-filled journey of exploration and experimentation—from retro cartoon beginnings to inventive and contemporary toon-tastic creations! A devoted cartoon fan, Jo began her artistic escapades as a Cartoon Illustrator fresh out of Art School. Within this workshop she brings together a variety of cartoon approaches for you to learn about and partake in to give you the opportunity to see how cartoons can play a part in many types of creative artwork. We will look at design, development and construction of Traditional Cartoon Character Concepts, Pop Art Culture, Object Cartoonism, and Contemporary Toon-Morph.

This workshop is perfect for creative artists seeking to pick up some cartooning skills to include in their designs and for those totally new to cartoons with simple curiosity! Drawing applications as well as acrylic painting will be employed in this class giving you an all-round understanding of the many approaches to cartoon-inspired art.
