This is a beginner level class designed to give children a foundation in making their own comics. Children do not need prior experience in creating comics but a strong interest in drawing and creativity is highly recommended. The class is 4 weeks long and will focus on a different topic every week. By the end of the course your child should have everything they need to start creating their own comics! In the class we will examine real published comics and explore techniques and concepts that children can apply when making their own comics. The class will cover the following topics: week 1: Story and Character week 2: Layout and Panels week 3: Speech Bubbles week 4: Inking and Coloring In class we will work primarily in traditional drawing methods, but digital art is welcome. Please see the supply list for recommended materials.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Brian and I am an artist and illustrator from Los Angeles, California. I am a classically trained in fine art and animation. In addition to making art I really enjoy teaching youth and helping them to develop their own unique form of creativity.
I have a number of years teaching and working with youth in various after school programs. I truly believe to that learning should be fun and I strive to provide an environment that is enriching, safe, and creatively nurturing. Students will be encouraged to express themselves artistically and to add their own imagination to the lessons.
Currently, I offer daily and weekly, cartooning courses. These are ongoing classes and the lessons evolve as course progresses, so children that wish to repeat the class will have new material to work from. These are entry level classes designed for anyone with an interest in drawing. All skill levels are welcome. Classes are non-competitive and each student is encouraged to do their own personal best. I believe that students can learn a lot from drawing with each other. In these classes students will have the opportunity to learn from myself but also each other as well.
In addition, I will be offering limited one time classes. This is a good way to test out the course and see if your child would be interested in one of the longer classes. These classes are also a option for tutoring if your child has specific drawing goals. If your child has special needs please reach out and let me know before the first class so I can make any necessary adjustments.Reviews
