Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this cartoon drawing class:

Extracting Humor from the Everyday

—- Class is indoors, masked, and requires proof of vaccination. —

Laura is an illustrator and architect living in Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, and Seattle’s The Stranger.

Laura is also a 2014 high school graduate of the Valley Art Workshop!

In this workshop, Laura gives a presentation on the history and particularities of the New Yorker cartoon, its formula and cultural contribution.

Laura will lead students through a process of deconstructing, analyzing, and sketching the humorous elements of their everyday experience. She’ll help students refine the qualities of treatment, pacing, irony, absurdity, and revelation that turn casual observations into comic gems. The class will work like a writers’ room: editing, testing, and encouraging the development of everyone’s cartoons.

Students will leave the workshop with a much stronger grasp on how to make effective visual humor with any amount of drawing skill and the simplest slices of daily content.

THE WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE:

I. A 20 minute presentation of Laura’s work and biography, with audience Q & A. Laura will also present on the history of the New Yorker cartoon.

II. A 20 minute demonstration of Laura’s process.

III. A 20 minute sketching phase.

IV. A quick 20 minute presentation and discussion of everyone’s sketches.

V. A 30 minute cartoon development phase.

VI. A 10 minute break.

VII. A quick 20 minute presentation and discussion of everyone’s cartoons.

VIII. A 25 minute cartoon finishing session.

IX. A 15 minute final critique.
