Ink Splat Characters

Learn how to turn an ink splatter into an original comic-book character or superhero. 

Use your creativity to turn a simple ink splatter into an original comic-book character or superhero. In this hands-on workshop you will use your imagination and some literary inspiration to design and draw an original superhero or comic book character using splatters of ink and other art supplies. Then you will use a worksheet to develop a name, personality, and skills for your character. This hands-on activity is designed to stimulate a child's creativity and imagination, while helping them develop critical fine motor skills. Recommended for ages 4-12. Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, MD Inc. 

We will provide all the materials for this program.
