Description

Class Experience

This class is structured by exploring popular cartooning conventions used and how they can vary through style. All classes will begin with a fifteen to twenty minute lecture on the lesson topic. The remainder of the class time will be spent using what the students have learned in that lesson through in-class assignments. Feed-back and encouragement will be given while students are drawing. This course will conclude with one fun homework assignment demonstrating the use of some of the drawing...

	Lesson 1: Cartooning as a career and hobby: marketplace exploration and psychological benefits
	Lesson 2: History of cartooning and comic strips
	Lesson 3: Audience considerations affecting style and color
	Lesson 4: Common conventions used to depict emotion
	Lesson 5: Exploration of common conventions used to convey motion and sound
	Lesson 6: The language of comic strips, framing and balance

Creating comics and cartoons is something I have done since childhood. I have used this interest and talent for fun, and for work. For example, I had the privilege to work with an advertising company that hired Disney-ready artists to create their signature-style cartoon maps! So if you would like your child to have a teacher who can explore both the creative side and the business side of cartooning and comics in a way that is both intriguing and fun, then I'm that instructor!

Materials will be what the students have on hand. Paper and pencil are a minimal expectation.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Students will be assessed through class participation and one final assignment.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
