STUDY CARTOONING IN VERMONT Summer 2006 Workshops for Educators, Writers, and Artists


White River Junction, VT - The Center for Cartoon Studies will offer a series of workshops this summer from gag cartooning to the history of comics. Each workshop promises an intensive study with a thorough exploration of the medium, a fascinating look into the process of making cartoons, and a lot of fun!

We're offering a repeat of last year's successful workshop: Create Comics (for ages 16+) and adding Gag Cartooning and History of Comics (for ages 16+).

Plus, for teachers who want to learn how to use comics to motivate and teach their students, we're offering an Educators' Workshop. Educators will find this and the entire line-up of workshops of particular interest. CCS workshops will give a jump-start on ideas for the fall curriculum!

Instructors this summer include celebrated The New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss, comic historian and cartoonists Steve Bissette, and creator of American Elf, James Kochalka. CCS Director James Sturm will also be teaching and CCS Fellow Robyn Chapman will lecturing on mini-comics and zines!

So come to White River Junction, Vermont and find out why The Washington Post, The Farmer's Almanac, and The Boston Globe all say that CCS is the place to learn about comics! For more information on workshops, faculty, and to register: http://cartoonstudies.org
