Comic Creatures free Family Day is filled with art activities and performances inspired by Aliens, Monsters, and Madmen: The Art of EC Comics. Families and children can create their own graphic novel page, make an animated short in a zoetrope, explore character development through illustration, and learn how to draw anime and manga characters. Local artist Marianne Walker will teach families how to create anime and manga characters and learn the fundamentals of Japanese comic design. Children can climb aboard Arty the Art Bus, a mobile art classroom, to create their own characters in a comic book with Copic markers. Performances include storytelling and a monster-inspired ballet performance choreographed by Ballet Fantastique. Family Day is sponsored by Kendall Auto Group and Imagination International, Inc.
