Comic-Book Art Class

Hey kids! Getting tired of sitting at home on the couch all day? Are you an artist or a comic book fan? On July 16, there is going to be a Comic-Book Art Class held at the Extension Office. You will learn all about the process of making a comic book, instructions on how to draw characters and scenery, and you will create your own comic by the end of the day. The class starts at 8:00am and goes to 5:00pm, so it will be a fun-filled, day long experience. There is a $6 fee, but this will cover the price of all your supplies and a meal. Some snacks will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring some of your own. We only have 15 spots available, so make sure to sign up by calling 821-3650.
