I actually learned how to teach comics by gathering advice from the iconic Scott McCloud just as his seminal book Understanding Comics was released for the first time decades ago. Since then I've taught over 30 comics classes in summer camps. I've also been invited into public schools where they've been awarded state grants so I can teach comics to their students. I come from a writing background, but comic books are a unique medium comprised of half writing and half visual story telling. Teachers used to walk by the classes were I taught and were amazed -- they'd never seen an entire group of ten year old boys so quiet and focussed for such a long time.

Frecuencia: 3-6 por semanaComentario: según sea necesarioDetalles: Classes are a launch pad to motivate student's work on creating a comic book episode. the 'homework' for the class is to finish the drawing they started in class that day.Evaluación
Frecuencia: 7 o más durante toda la claseDetalles: Students will receive assessments of their completed work from the day before. Acknowledgement of what is strong and what is good work will be the main focus, along with one or two ways to improve the comic panels presented.
Learners should either have taken Comics: Basic Skills to Master, Art Camp! or have experience creating a sequence of comic panels and feel comfortable doing so.
unlined paper, sharp pencils, a good large eraser, a good pencil sharpener, and a ruler are essential for this class. You will need (for around $20.00 or less) the comic pro pen set listed below. (Though getting it from a different vendor is fine.) They make a big difference in the quality of drawing your kid can produce. https://www.dickblick.com/products/sakura-manga-comic-pro-sets/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=20702-1089&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi-ORsY2q6AIVWsDICh3Peg84EAQYBCABEgIabfD_BwE
--I will be screen sharing past student's work (used with permission) for class to demonstrate examples. --I often gather drawings from class to use in other teaching contexts--future classes on Outschool, etc. Please let me know if you would NOT like your learner's work to be used--or if I must ask your learner first. Otherwise, I'll assume that I have permission. (I do often ask students anyway. I think certain students really enjoy knowing their work was strong enough to use as an example.) --the pdfs of templates for storyboarding were made by me. Feel free to share as you like.
We use drawing comics terms taken from Scott McCloud's book Understanding Comics and from general terms comic book artists use.
