The final days of summer are upon us, and [gasp!] with some early signs of leaves changing from green to new brilliant hues, it’s pretty clear that fall is quickly approaching. Before your schedules get filled with after-school sports or even some pumpkin and apple picking, Give it a go! has a host of fall classes beginning this month that are sure to pique every creative’s interest all season long.
From my Create a Comic class for the littlest artists to adult acting for every grown up who’s ever been entranced by a magical screen or stage performance, there’s something for everyone this autumn.
There’s just one, teeny tiny thing left to do: decide which class YOU want to sign up for!
Give it a go!

If you’ve always wanted to turn yourself into a superhero or create an alternate reality and save mankind from invading aliens, this is the comic book class for you. And it doesn’t matter if you can draw or not! We’ll show you the skills you need to develop your own cartooning style and writing tools to develop a one-page comic strip.
