Once upon a time there were a lot of kids who were stuck inside all summer because of a nasty virus. Rather than feel bored or cranky, these kids decided to be creative and productive. They signed up for a three-week online master class with award-winning author Kate Klise and her illustrator sister Sarah Klise.
With the Klise sisters' help and encouragement, the kids wrote picture books. They illustrated them, too!
The classes weren’t easy. In fact, they were downright challenging. Kate insisted the kids work like real authors. They had to think, write, rethink, rewrite, edit, and polish their stories. Sarah helped the kids bring their stories to life with art and design. She showed them how to sketch, draw, shadow, and create compelling visuals with characters and text.
Sound like fun? We think so, too. Here are the details:
The JUNIOR MASTER CLASS (ages 6-8) will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 2-18, 2020 (six classes).
The SENIOR MASTER CLASS (ages 9-13) will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, June 1-19, 2020 (nine classes).
A Publishing Day Party will be held via Zoom on Saturday, June 20. Attendance is optional, but we’d love to celebrate our young authors and illustrators in style with an open mic-style launch party.
All classes will be conducted via Zoom. Apply right here. Participation is limited. Send in your application now to guarantee a spot. Questions about the classes? Contact Kate Klise. Questions about applying or payment? Contact Sarah Klise. More classes coming in July and August. (Maybe one for adults. Interested? Let us know!)
