Below you can see some pictures from previous years and what some students had to say about these sessions.

Jim Fletcher - Let’s Draw a Character ‍

“Let’s draw a character was awesome, I learned how to draw side profiles.”

‍

St. Cloud School of Music - Lead the Beat! 

“Lead the Beat, I learned how to make fun beats.”

‍

Mark Rivard, Do Rad Things - Skateboard Art!

“The best part of the conference was Do Rad Things, because I learned how to start a business and how to decorate a skateboard.”

‍

We are also looking forward to welcoming some new presenters to this year’s event including; Matt Eicheldinger with Cartooning: Showing Your Life in Panels and Nicole Kronzer with Make ‘em Laugh!: How to harness humor into your writing & art.  

These are just a few of the sessions available this year, Young Author Young Artists will have over 10 different sessions for students to choose from to explore the various arts.
