Pre-College Workshop: Comic Art (in person)

This course is designed for students interested in illustration, storytelling through sequential art, and graphic novels. With a strong focus on multi-page comic storytelling, develop drawing skills and visual vocabulary within the context of panel layout, figure drawing for characters, and comic inking techniques. Learn rudimentary comic book publishing techniques and leave the class with a finished-multi page mini-comic featuring a short story of their own creation. / This class includes a 30 minute lunch break.
