Youth Summer Reading – Acting Workshop with Do Art

At the Do Art Acting workshop, we will learn about the different visual languages we use with our face, emotions, and body posture.  From these, we will try different improv scenarios at random, and see how easy it is to ‘get into ‘character’ and tap into our creative expression through the different visual cues.  We will then write our own part to act out!

Advanced Registration is Required! Please call 314-727-3150 or email YouthServices@ucitylibrary.org

Youth Summer Reading – Comics Workshop with Do Art Productions

At the Do Art Productions Comic Book Workshop, we will explore the different languages of comics, from the eyes, to body posture, to the actual language within speech bubbles.  The workshop is interactive and very creative with little tricks and turns to keep engagement.  With a dynamic pose drawing exercise you may see juggling axolotls, flying giraffes, or dabbing pandas.  After seeing how easy cartooning and creative expression can be, we will generate a comic together out of the characters and creativity of the first half!
