Students will need a pencil, ruler to draw panels, eraser, 8.5 X11 paper folded and stapled to make a comic book, a spare sheet to do practice work, a black marker with ink non bleed students should draw in PENCIL FIRST. Please remind them of that.

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

Transfer requests must be made 24 hours in advance or more. Recording is available upon request. I cannot transfer to an empty slot.

This may not be suitable for ESL as there is a lot of fast-talking. 

Multitasking is involved as i'll stop them to listen to me now and again, then return them to their comics. If they prefer to just focus on their comic, and refer to the recording, that's fine, everyone works differently. The reviews have been mostly positive about multitasking, but i understand if your child prefers not to. 

Children should know how to fold their papers to look like books, if they don't, please have this done before class or help them.

They should also know how to draw boxes using a ruler or by hand for their panels. Please don't have premade panels, it takes away from the learning.

If your child has an understanding of action lines, word balloons, and basic design they should be prepared to participate if they want advanced work. This means having a comic idea ready and explaining their plan, as well as drawing. A lot of what makes a comic developed is understanding panel design, pacing etc. This class is mainly for students who are new to comic design and prepared to create a story or learn basic concepts, if it's too easy that means they don't need an intro course. 

This is a required sharing class. Drawings can be left private, not the writing.
