Something for the Kids! Imagination Comics: From Page to Puppets with Lauren Barnett


Lauren Barnett's "When I'm Sad"
This summer, instead of spending Saturday mornings watching cartoons your children can make their own (and bring them to life) at DAC’s Imagination Comics.

The three-weekend program lead by acclaimed comic illustrator and Brooklyn local, Lauren Barnett, kicks off July 16th with an introduction to the world of comics and the basics of cartooning. The second class will give the kids a chance to explore their imaginations by developing their own characters and creating their very own comic strip. For the final session, Lauren will help the kids bring their original comics off the page and into the 3rd dimension. By constructing puppets of their characters, the kids will experience cartoons in a way no funnies page or television show can offer.

To stretch your child’s imagination this month, enroll them in the workshop at http://www.dumboartscenter.org/Education.html.
