Join us for a fun afternoon doodling with cartoonist and art educator Cara Bean. This playful workshop invites participants to draw and sketch in an open and relaxed environment. We begin with a few simple sketching games meant to inspire our imagination. As the session progresses, we generate interesting characters and settings. We then explore how words and pictures can come together to build a basic narrative. Participants write and draw their own stories inspired by their drawings. The final sketches they create culminate in a complete creative experience and are often surprising and always fun.

This workshop is best suited to children older than six years old because some reading is required. Parents should stay present to assist any child under six. Teens and adults are also welcome. The accompanying Doodling kit will be available for curbside pickup on February 10th.

This workshop is sponsored by the Carlisle Cultural Council, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Friends of the Gleason Public Library.
