By default I will not be grading this class, but it can be requested.Class Experience
In this class we will cover the fundamentals to get your learner started creating their own comics. Over this class we will create unique characters and environments. I will guide your learner through this. They have the option to do any idea for characters they like. I will have prompts for them if would need them, for example, animals, color themed, princess, etc. Or they can follow along with me and draw what I draw. Each lesson will be structured in a similar way: A quick introduction to explain to students the class and what will be taught. A drawing game to get the creative juices flowing. I will give the learners a silly prompt and a time limit to draw silly characters. I will also participate. The lesson, a lecture with drawing examples. Some times this will involve the students drawing with me. Now is the time for learners to put into practice what I have showed them. This is drawing time where we will draw together. Show and tell time. Any student that feels comfortable showing what they have drawn is free to show what they have created. If any learner has any questions I will answer them here.
