Cartooning Workshops with Mr. Ollie
At Creative Discovery Museum, June 24-26

Children can learn how to create their own cartoon characters at workshops at Creative Discovery Museum led by freelance cartoonist and teaching artist. Tim Oliphant, known as Mr. Ollie, has been a professional cartoonist since 1983, producing caricatures, daily comic strips, self-syndicated editorial cartoons and freelance humorous illustrations.

"I'll be showing the basics of how to create characters," said Oliphant. "I don't draw famous characters. I show children how to create a character of their own using basic shapes like circles and squares."

Tim Oliphant will lead three cartooning workshops every day, June 24-26. Workshop times for each day will be 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Each workshop will last 40-50 minutes. Advance registration is not required. Workshops are open to twenty children per session and will fill on a first come, first serve basis. Workshops are open to all Museum guests and are free with Museum paid admission.

The workshops are very hands on. "I don't want to be like a standing television up there, where they just watch me do things," said Oliphant. "The class can draw along with me as I go, and I encourage them to change the drawing away from what I'm doing. That way they can make it unique, not just a copy of what I'm doing."

Oliphant described how he will show children how to create a character step by step. "The first thing I'll do is construct a whole body out of forms and shapes. Then we add details like nose, eyes and hair. Next we'll clean it up. That means we'll erase out some of the little lines. We'll trace out the character itself with a dark pencil or a black crayon, so you see the character, not the shapes that make up the character. Then we color it in."

Now Open Summer Hours, June 21-August 10. Beginning Saturday, June 21 the Museum will be open every day (Monday through Sunday) from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Regular hours will resume on Monday, August 11.

Tickets are $8.95 for children and adults. Mr. Ollie's cartooning demonstrations are included in the regular admission price. Creative Discovery Museum is located at 321 Chestnut Street in downtown Chattanooga. For more information, call (423) 756-2738, or visit www.cdmfun.org.
