In this single-session class students will learn how to make their own 8 page mini-comic from a single sheet of paper. We'll practice folding and cutting before diving into some comic drawing techniques and drawing our comics together.

Class experience

This class is taught in English.
Students will learn how to fold paper to create an 8-page minicomic (math and spatial skills), brainstorming about story ideas, how to organize and plan a specific story, and some introductory tips about penciling, inking, and coloring. Learners will be able to use whatever arts materials they would like. Any size of paper works, though I use an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of copier/printer paper in my instruction. 
I have taught this lesson many times in my afterschool teaching work, as part of other classes, and at zine fairs and festivals across my home state. I have a background in arts education with students, and I am a working artist who makes these types of minicomics regularly. 
Homework Offered
Students are welcome to continue their work if they do not finish within the class time.

Grades Offered

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