Cartooning classes planned for kiddies

Children between ages 8 and 12 may try their hand at drawing cartoons on Saturday during a basic cartooning workshop. The class will be led by local artist and author Lady Rabia Abdul-Hakim.

Lady Rabia, who hails from Cayman Brac but has spent time in the Middle East, has penned 48 children’s stories and articles and created a number of characters, including Kaa Kaa & Tokyo, Dem Grandchildren, Charity Ann Girls, Caymanians in the Kingdom, and Deen Bones.

Children will be given step-by-step-instructions as they learn fun and easy ways to draw cartoons using simple shapes. Following the workshop, children may join Lady Rabia at Books & Books for a special signing of her Kaa Kaa & Tokyo books. This is a free event and registration is recommended.

The workshop takes place from 2.30pm to 3.30pm on Saturday at the Discovery Centre in Camana Bay.
