SSG Michael Wayne Schafer Memorial VFW Post 10209VisDev All Ages Creative Workshop with Kait Merryman
This hands-on creative workshop, led by the owner Kait, invites participants to pull a surprise prompt from a hat and transform it into an original idea. Prompts could include imagining a brand-new Mario Kart racer, designing a mascot for an ice cream shop, or inventing a fresh comic book superhero. With ink, markers, and poster board as the toolkit, the session explores how artists and designers express ideas through sketching, page layout, logos, character development, typography, and visual storytelling. The emphasis is on tackling a design challenge and turning a concept into something tangible rather than aiming for a perfect drawing. The workshop wraps up with short presentations where everyone shares their concept, explains key choices, and cheers on the creativity in the room. It is a welcoming space for anyone interested in illustration, graphic design, animation, comics, or anyone who simply enjoys making art.
