"Teach Kids Cartooning" and "Teach Kids Color Mixing"!

I'm excited to offer a "double-header" this weekend, and I'm not talking about baseball! This is a "double-header" of "Teach Kids Art" workshops for teachers, including a special Cartooning Workshop with guest artist, Bridgett Spicer! Bridgett is the creator of the daily web comic, Squid Row. Watch the videos below to see what makes her "tick"!



Bridgett's "Teach Kids Cartooning" workshop (this Saturday, November 21, 2pm to 5pm, at Palace Art & Office Supply in Capitola, California), will cover what you need to know to successfully teach cartooning to kids from Kindergarten through 6th grade and beyond!

Kids love to draw cartoons and Bridgett's tips and techniques will have them drawing better than they ever imagined possible! From the simplest cartoons made from alphabet letters, to drawing expressions, showing movement, and even creating graphic novels, Bridgett will take you through the steps to teach cartooning to your students, whatever their age or ability level.

Bridgett's teaching style is both is engaging and entertaining... you won't believe how much fun she can pack into one 3 hour workshop! Even if you don't live in the area, this workshop is worth traveling to.... you won't want to miss it!!!

And if you really want to make a day of it, that morning I'll be teaching a workshop called "Teach Kids Color Mixing" from 9am to noon. You'll learn the basics of color theory so you can feel confident teaching it to your students! We'll use tempera paint in primary colors plus black and white, to mix secondary and tertiary colors, as well as tints and shades. The paintings of famous artists Wassily Kandinsky and Wayne Thiebaud will inspire two fun painting projects, and you'll even get to make your own color wheel!

You can reserve a seat at one or both of these inspiring workshops by calling Palace Art & Office Supply at 831-464-2700 or in person at 1501 41st Avenue, Capitola.
