Sketchbook Drawing and Journaling
Sketchbooks are a great tool for practice, relaxation, and even documenting everyday life. In a friendly, stress-free group setting, you’ll have the chance to experiment with different materials, follow along with guided demonstrations, and receive supportive feedback from the instructor. This class focuses on enjoyment and personal growth rather than perfection. This class is currently being offered at the Senior Centers in Reading and North Reading, MA. See schedule below.

For Ages 8 - 12
Through fun drawing games and hands-on demonstrations, students will learn how to create their own unique characters and exciting stories for comics. They'll explore how facial expressions, body language, and sequential art help bring stories to life—improving their visual storytelling skills in a relaxed and creative environment at their own pace.
Students will also discover different methods for making mini-comics, including one-page folded books and small multi-page stapled books. By the end, they'll have their very own comic creations featuring the characters and worlds they imagined!
