Keep the Wonder Alive!
Nurture your child's curiosity for art and the animal kingdom.
Your child already loves dragons, dinosaurs, monsters, and wild creatures that feel larger than life.
But when it comes to drawing them, many young artists struggle to make them feel powerful, textured, and alive on the page.
That's exactly what this workshop is designed to help with.
After traveling to Komodo National Park in Indonesia and seeing real-life dragons up close, Mr. Grissom created this workshop to show kids how artists turn real-world inspiration into bold creature artwork full of energy and atmosphere.
Now your child gets to learn those same techniques step by step.

About Your Instructor
I've taught in schools around the world for over 15 years, studying and honing the evidence-backed methods that engage kids in deep learning. Between classrooms, I've always chased the natural world โ from jungle floors and rocky coastlines to Komodo Island, where I came face to face with these giant lizards.
And in every school I taught in, it was the same story. I saw children losing their creative and curious spirit way too early.
I knew I had to do something.
After I rediscovered my own love of drawing, after not making art for 20 years, I left the traditional school system and got to work.
I created Kids Cartoon Academy to make sure other children don't abandon their inner creative child as they grow up, like I once did.
Since it started three years ago, Kids Cartoon Academy has nurtured the creative spirits and skills of over 70,000 students.
