CCS Summer Workshops 2010

CREATE COMICS | July 12-16, ages 16+

Back by popular demand, Create Comics Summer Workshop, considered a ‘boot camp’ for cartoonists, ideal for ages 16+. The 5-day workshop packs in the essentials for producing your own comics.

The Create Comics Workshop covers all the basics of creating and self-publishing comic books. Through lectures, exercises, and group projects, students learn about story structure, page composition, pacing, materials and techniques, character design, environmental drawing, and production. Students collaborate on a comic anthology that they self-publish during the workshop. Create Comics is for both beginner and advanced students age 16 and over.

CARTOONING STUDIO | August 2-6, ages 18+

Cartooning Studio is a 5-day cartooning intensive, ideal for adults and college students (with a for-credit option). Through lectures and classroom exercises, CCS faculty will cover the basics of visual storytelling. There will be a strong focus on designing, crafting and self-publishing comics. This is a goal-orientated workshop in which students are given the support necessary to create and self-publish their own independent project.

Cartooning Studio participants will have 24-hour access to studio space and the CCS Production Lab, allowing them to extend their experience beyond scheduled class time. Apple laptops, equipped with essential programs like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, will be available for check out. Registration fees include black & white and color printing and copying, screen printing lab access, and more.

CCS will offer optional evening classes and tutoring sessions, allowing students to tailor their learning experience.

EXTENDED STUDIO OPTION | August 9-11, ages 18+

This additional 3-day workshop after Cartooning Studio is designed for students who wish to extend their time at CCS working on independent projects under the guidance of faculty, with full access to CCS resources such as studio space, the production lab, and the Schulz Library.
