We will cover development of your own character, background/settings, lettering, and layout design. There will be a college granduate, Justin Egizio, who has recently received his degree to become an art teacher, coming to show how to turn your drawings into a computer- generated file, which can be altered and enhanced with special programs. The targeted age group is 12 - 18 (or older), but will consider younger students with a serious interest. NOTE: The basic program is the same as other years, however, there will be a different theme for this years' class.
