Cartoonist Cara Bean will lead participants through drawing exercises intended to lessen anxiety, boost confidence, and build playful and problem solving strategies. No prior art experience is required! She’ll also teach us about her own creative process: getting past drawing roadblocks, how to tell a story in a few words, and other ins and outs of drawing comics. 

Cara Bean is the cartoonist of Let’s Talk About It: A Graphic Guide to Mental Health (2020). Each participant will receive a Doodling Kit prior to the program; registration highly recommended. 

Free, for ages 11-18.

This program is funded through Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau.
