Saturday Morning Cartooning
Come learn the craft of cartooning from one of The New Yorker’s contemporary stars! Together we’ll come up with cartoon ideas, and take them through the three major steps of conception, composition, and caption. By the end of the workshop, we’ll have enough cartoons to cover a fridge. No prior drawing or writing experience necessary.
All materials provided.
