Have you ever wanted to create characters like those in your favorite graphic novels? We will develop drawing skills and create stories for our own characters. By looking at some of the many great cartoonists, we'll practice developing settings and dialogue for comic strips and graphic novels. Learn how images, exaggeration, character development and expression can make your ideas come to life! We'll work in a variety of materials, including ink, color pencil and more. For ages 8-12.

  • COVID Requirements

    Based on current guidance from the Arlington Department of Health, CDC, and other local and national public health agencies, Arlington Center for the Arts (ACA) will no longer require proof of COVID vaccinations for participation in our programs, including classes, camps, exhibits, performances, and events. While masks continue to be optional at ACA, they are strongly recommended, and we encourage everyone to review current masking recommendations from the CDC to inform their personal choices.


    ACA is aware that public health guidance re: COVID-19 continues to change and evolve – all current policies are subject to change, in order to best align with current guidance and to preserve the safety of all of our constituents. Please be on the lookout for updated policies and protocols moving forward.
