New Art Instructor Rachel Strongoli Joins Shore Cultural Centre

Rachel Strongoli will join Shore Cultural Centre this month as a new visual arts teacher. She begins by instructing the popular Saturday morning Cartooning Class, a steady favorite with regional youth. Ms. Strongloli was highly recommended by Josh Usmani, who had been teaching cartooning prior at Shore and recently moved on to pursue career goals. Ms. Strongoli holds a BA from Cleveland State University, and was a Cleveland Institute of Art scholarship recipient. The cartooning class details are below. Shore Cultural Centre is located at 291 E. 222nd in Euclid. You may register at www.shoreculturalcentre.com, or call 216-289-8578 for information.

Cartooning                                                    

When: Saturdays - June 6 - Aug 8, 10 classes. 10:00 am - 12:00 pm $15.00 per class, or $135.00 for session. Ages 10+

This course will cover a wide range of cartooning practices including character creation/development (people, animals, fictional creatures, inanimate objects, etc.), backgrounds/scenery, narrative  storytelling, caricatures, observational drawing from life and more! By the end of each session, students will leave having created at least one original work of art. By the end of the full course, students who attend regularly will complete a comic strip, comic book or piece/series of “Pop Art”.  Each lesson will build towards this final project, but each lesson could also stand alone for students who cannot attend regularly.
