Cartooning for 10years+ | Term 1

This specialised course is for students who are passionate about cartooning and want to explore the process further with our teacher Kaitlyn Stephens.

In this class, students will explore a wide range of cartooning styles with both drawing and painting materials. They will gain an understanding of the fundamentals that build eye-catching and unique stylistic art and develop their capacity for imaginative self-expression. To foster our students’ individualism, class projects include critical-thinking and observational learning skills.

Through this course, students will learn the following: 

• Fundamental cartooning principles that can be applied to individual art-making. 
• Visual story-telling principles for more complex and effective cartooning. 
• Critical-thinking and observational learning skills. 
• How to use different art mediums to bring their ideas to life. 
• Methods of harnessing their own creative abilities for diverse self-expression.

Melbourne Studio of Art is committed to teaching students not only technique and expression, but also the importance of finishing that which is started. A large part of our educational system focuses on commitment, completion and the rewards that effort and discipline offer; we believe it is healthy for children to learn these lessons in these times of instant gratification and overly appreciated outcomes.
