For whom?
Do you want to sharpen your drawing skills and mix them with humour? Would you even like to have a stepping stone to practice the profession of cartoonist?

Content
In six lessons we cover the technical aspects of cartoons. The goal is to create the world (your world) while drawing. With figures that support your image concept with their posture and expression. Attention is also paid to metaphors. Because bringing the subject into a different setting often tells even better what is going on than the original situation. As a teacher, I give examples and tips, but it is not really needed to imitate them. You will receive an overview and can then determine your preferences. A modest part of the course is about the field of work of cartoonists. How do you move forward, what kind of organizations are there and what about the payments? (Spoiler: often too little)

The course includes the use of material during the lessons. We mainly work with an ordinary pencil and a fine liner or felt-tip pen. So just black and white. Only in lessons 5 and 6 we will be using coloured pencils.

Teacher
Maarten Wolterink (1964) started as an independent cartoonist after his - unfinished - education at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Since then, he has worked for various Dutch newspapers, in particular the Leidsch Dagblad and the Haarlems Dagblad. He makes cartoons for the magazine Vrij Nederland and the opinion website Joop. Through Cartooning for Peace and Cartoon Movement, his work can also be seen on the French television channel France 24 and in newspapers such as Le Monde, Le Courrier International, Washington Post, Le Temps Suisse, Trouw and the Financieele Dagblad. In addition to his work as an editorial and political cartoonist, he also performs live as a stand-up cartoonist and gives workshops.
