A314 Comix Guild: Make a Zine
with Ariel Martian
**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**
For Ages 16+
In this 4 part course, we’ll make a zine that tells a unique story using a single sheet of printer paper. Inspired by the books “Cartooning” by Ivan Brunetti, and “Making Comics” by Lynda Barry, plus the instructor's own experiences making comics, students will go through the process of designing characters, writing a story, and laying out their comic so it fits on a single 8.5x10” sheet of paper folded into a booklet with 6 pages- a front and back cover- plus a possible bonus image on the reverse side of their comic pages.
This course will include weekly drawing exercises to help get the creative juices flowing, and hone the skills needed to visually tell a simple story. Comix Guild doesn’t require advanced drawing skills, or any kind of fancy equipment. Although drawing is the primary medium, collage elements (if desired) can be included in final zines.
Students should purchase their own mixed-media sketchbook in size of choice.

B470 Happy Hour Painting (Oct 24)
with Alix Rondy
**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**
For Ages 16+
Join teaching artist, Alix Rondy, on a guided adventure with brush and canvas. Participants will create a unique 11”x 14" painting based on a common theme.
Join us and explore lush foliage, hidden wildlife, and quiet mystery as we dive into the dreamlike jungle paintings of Henri Rousseau. A self-taught artist who spent much of his life working as a customs officer, Rousseau never traveled to a tropical rainforest, yet he created some of history's most captivating jungle scenes using inspiration from botanical gardens, books, and his own vivid imagination. His paintings are heavy with mystery, blurring the line between reality and fantasy and inviting viewers into strange, peaceful worlds where anything feels possible.
Participants will learn how to layer imagery and create depth with overlapping shapes as they build their own dense jungle worlds. Along the way, we'll discuss how Rousseau's unconventional artistic journey and imaginative approach helped him develop a style unlike any of his contemporaries. We'll also explore how he used composition, color, and simplified forms to create a sense of wonder and mystery.
Each artist will personalize their painting with animals, flowers, or other imaginative details, making every finished piece a unique reflection of their own creative vision.
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Neon Cow Bar will have wine, and beer available for purchase by participants over age 21. (Outside alcohol prohibited.)
