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

2008 marked the start of Ron Wheeler’s Cartoon Camp. Over 30 kids attended one of two cartoon camps (one for elementary age and one for junior and senior high school students) that Ron and his daughter, Audrey, taught in his home.

Ron covered the basics of drawing, starting with realistic drawing and transitioning into cartooning. Everyone learned how to sculpt cartoon heads with modeling clay and used that as a reference for drawing characters from different angles. Students also gained preliminary information on how to create a comic strip and had opportunity to practice that.

In the Summer of 2009 Ron and his daughter expanded to 4 cartoon camps. Ron also held a single Saturday cartoon day camp in the spring as an outreach through his church to the neighborhood.

In all his teaching Ron 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.

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 750 people from 49 countries.
