Our Mission
Comic Kids believes that all children have the right to a quality art education and it is our mission to provide vulnerable youth with access to art by teaching them how to draw comic, cartoon, and book characters. We work with children in pediatric hospitals, foster care, homeless shelters and those suffering from abuse and neglect, providing them with art classes, art supplies, art books, and providing their educators with additional art resources.
Comic Kids is a resource for teachers and afterschool programs to bring art classes, supplies, curriculum, and art books to their kids for free.
Our partners enable us to provide widespread help to vulnerable children

Empower Young Artists with Art Books
About Our Art Books
Comic Kids is creating an ongoing series of coloring and step-by-step drawing books which simplify concepts, helping children discover that art skills are attainable through practice.
Art Books are intended to be an art resource for children in vulnerable communities, which we donate to after school programs, shelters, foster care and children’s hospitals.
Corporations and individuals wishing to donate art books to children in need, contact us at comickidsorg@gmail.com to learn more. Art books are also available to purchase.

How are Classes Taught?
Art classes are taught in-person or virtually for organizations that help children. Children watch classes via smartboards while they are in a classroom setting. Supplies are simple, just a pencil, paper and something to color with.
What Classes Do We Teach?
Reading + Drawing (ages 5-8) Children watch the teacher read popular books and draw the characters in the style of the illustrator.
Cartoon & Comic Drawing (ages 5-14) Children draw their favorite comic and cartoon characters from movies, tv shows, books, comics & graphic novels.
Glow-in-the-Dark Art (ages 6-14) These special-event art classes for non-profits are a fun way for children to learn to draw cartoons on glow-in-the-dark paper, with the lights off and the black lights on!
How Can Children Take Classes?
Comic Kids teaches weekly classes to participating nonprofits and children’s hospitals. To schedule classes for children in your schools, after school centers or hospitals, contact us at comickidsorg@gmail.com.
