Programs for Students
Creativity and Cartooning: Beginner Series (Students)
Just
like you teach a child to ride a bicycle, read a book, or play a
musical instrument, you can teach your child how to be creative. It's a
skill. There are a variety of tools that you have to master, but once
you have them, it is like learning a foreign language. The earlier your
child starts, the more competent she will become in speaking the
language of creativity.
- Find out how a cartoonist like Gary Larson and an inventor like Benjamin Franklin think alike
- Construct a creativity wheel
- Discover how to turn on your creativity with second-right answers
- Learn how to use a creativity wallet just like Leonardo da Vinci (a pretty creative guy)
- Play with the blender technique to come up with something that never existed before
Using cartooning as a tool, Jim Wiltens shows you how to increase creativity. Cartooning appeals to many children and introduces hands-on-training in coming up with imaginative ideas. The principles for coming up with a good cartoon are the same principles used by scientists, managers, film-makers, inventors, writers, entrepreneurs and anyone else who benefits from thinking different. Students can learn up to five creativity techniques:
While art techniques are taught, the primary focus of the class is hands-on experience with specific creativity skills. By the end of class, students will have a notebook filled with their creative ideas.
Class Schedule:
This is a four part class, two hours/class
