Ron Wheeler's Cartoon Camp is in Kansas City, Missouri USA

Instructors:
Ron Wheeler, Audrey Wheeler

Location:
Kansas City, Missouri USA

Year Started:
2008

Web:
Cartoonworks Cartoon Camp

Christian Comics Pioneer and internationally known tract cartoonist Ron Wheeler has held Cartoon Camps since 2008. The first year over 30 kids attended 1 of 2 cartoon camps (1 for elementary age and 1 for junior and senior high school students) that Wheeler and his daughter, Audrey, taught in his home.

In the Summer of 2009 they expanded to 4 cartoon camps for around 100 students.

In 2010 Wheeler held 5 weeks of morning and afternoon camps for 67 students.

Camp lessons include the basics of drawing, starting with realistic drawing and transitioning into cartooning. Students learn how to sculpt cartoon heads with modeling clay and use that as a reference for drawing characters from different angles. Students also gain preliminary information on how to create a comic strip.

In all his teaching Wheeler uses the latest in technology: drawing in Photoshop CS3 on a Wacom Cintiq tablet and projecting his work on the wall through a digital projector.

COMIX35 Courses

COMIX35 offers seminars for Christian communicators who want to put comics to work in their evangelism and discipleship materials.

Seminars are very "hands-on" for students, with opportunities to create comic strips and tracts during class which can go into print immediately.

Sessions cover Identifying Your Audience, Plotting & Scripting, Storyboarding & Visual Storytelling, Editing/Art Directing, and Cultural, Communication, and Evangelism Strategy Considerations. (This is not an introductory "how to draw" class, although usually some art instruction is provided during each seminar.)

Over 30 COMIX35 events have been held worldwide for more than 760 people from 45 countries.

Proposed for 2011:

Seminars in Québec and the Middle East - See the COMIX35 Seminars page for updates.
