Cartooning Basics with Mr. Zap!

4 weeks: Aug 4, 11, 18, 25
Calling all young artists and storytellers, the Markeim Art Center is proud to announce a new cartooning class this summer!
Students from ages 7-12 will be learning foundational drawing techniques from a real cartoonist – and elementary local art teacher -in order to create expressive characters, unique locations, and dynamic panels.
Don’t miss your chance to tell your story; no prior experience necessary!
About Mr. Zap!: Zack “Zap” Brandinelli, or as his students call him “Mr. Z”, works as an elementary and middle school art teacher currently teaching in Maple Shade, New Jersey.
Serving as an apprentice to a comic book artist in high school and graduating with a degree in illustration from Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Zap has a keen interest in sequential storytelling and cartooning that covers a wide range of mediums but specializes in drawing and digital illustration, with an interest in small scale sculpture work.
While he loves teaching, one of Zap’s life goals is to self-publish a book of his own featuring his creator-owned characters but until then he is happy to be teaching others and taking commissions to improve his skills.
