Optional: Students can work on their comics in between class times, as well as during class. If they want to have comics that more than a few panels in length (which is basically just a comic strip), they would need to work on it between class times. (See ITINERARY section above.) I am available in between classes if any students have any questions and give feedback. They can either send me a private message on Outschool or post their question on the Outschool page. If they have comic panels that they would like me to look at, they can send me those as well. While classes are normally 50-55 minutes, I am willing to stay on Zoom sometimes after class if a student needs help with their comics.Evaluación
The teacher will provide verbal feedback in class. If they need any assistance with their panels in between class times, the teacher will also provide short written feedback to students,Experiencia de clase

In this course, students learn how to make their own comic books. They also get their comic stories printed and published in a comic magazine!
Students will learn how to create, edit, and color their comic stories.
Artwork will be done on paper, then scanned and edited on computer. (If student has a computer tablet and wishes to use that instead, let me know prior to class.)
After class is over, every student will get a box of comic books with their comic stories in them. And they will know how to print their own comic books by themselves in the future.
YOUNGER KIDS can take a similar class here on Outschool. Visit my profile or message me to learn more about the class.
📢 PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high cost of shipping to foreign countries, learners in this class from outside the USA will get 9+ comic books instead of 30.
🚚 SEE BELOW for comic book printing schedules.
Students will create out their own short gag comic cartoon story or comic strip(s). Students will plan out their stories and characters, going through the whole process of planning, penciling, lettering, and inking on paper. The final part of coloring and editing their work would be done on the computer to give their comic a more professional look.
The students' comics would be printed/published in a magazine called "Cartoon Avenue", which publishes comics and artwork created by kids. Thousands of copies of the magazine are printed per issue. These comics would be distributed to schools and comic books stores for other children to read.
This class covers the fees for the student's printed/shipping of comics. USA Students would receive at least 30 Cartoon Avenue comic books. (Students outside the USA would get at least 10 comics... I will try to throw in extra, if its possible.)
The comic magazine would feature comics made by everyone in these classes.

⚠️This is a LIVE class and is NOT pre-recorded.
This class will be presented via cameras from the instructor, as well as through screen sharing. That way students can be able to observe step-by-step what the instructor is doing. Students can interact with the instructor, as well ask ask questions during instruction.
Students are expected to communicate with the teacher. Communication, visuals, and hands-on instruction are all the things that are important in helping the students get a better understanding of the subject.
Comic stories can be no larger than 25 panels (or 2 pages), as they are sharing the comic magazine with other students. They can also design their own cover, if they want. If they don't design a cover, the cover art would be designed by other student(s).
➤ For a more pages, the learner will need to take the regular publishing class: https://outschool.com/classes/make-publish-your-story-comics-or-poems-w-pro-book-printing-delivery-89vbTv9R?usid=fF9cKM18&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_linkMetas de aprendizaje

Orientación para padres
Please be sure all learner's comic stories are school appropriate for young audiences. I cannot allow any content with nudity, violence, profanity, or adult content into the classroom.
I have questions from parents, asking how much violence is acceptable.
I try to keep the comic book rated E-7, which is for everyone 7 and up (similar to a TV-Y7 film rating). A good example of action cartoon that is rating for 7-year-olds and older is "Batman the Animated series". The cartoon has guns, but no one is seen getting hit... In one episode Commissioner Gordon gets shot, but its offscreen and we find him later in the hospital recovering. Characters can get hurt, but its bruises and scratches with only drops of blood. And if a character dies, the character dies off screen. (Here is a sample video from the show: https://youtu.be/sT43MClzowM)
As the comic books will be published in actual comic book stores and other places, I also cannot allow comics with characters copyrighted by someone else. No Mickey Mouse, Avengers, Superman, Batman, etc. (Unless its a parody of those characters.)
I've also had questions from parents if their children keep the rights to their creations, and if they are allowed to sell the comic books that they receive. I don't keep any rights for the kids creations, except for the permission to use in the comic magazine (as stated in this listing). The type of rights that I have is basically that of a non-exclusive license agreement, where I have permission to use the student's comics in my magazine and that's it... The learners still have all the rights to whatever they want with their comics. (If parents are interested would like to get a copyright for their child's creation, let me know and I can assist them with that.)
Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Lista de útiles escolares
The materials required depends on what the learner would be doing.
Would they be doing their artwork on paper? Or on the computer?
𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧...
𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱:
✓ Paper 📃
✓ Pencils and Erasers ✏️
✓ Fine Point & ultra-fine point permanent markers or 🖊️Sharpies
✓ Computer, tablet, Chromebook, or laptop to edit their artwork on.
📢 Please install Zoom on the same device as the art software being used.
That way the instructor will be able to see what the student is doing and be able to help the student,
if he or she is having any difficulties.
✓ Scanner or Camera
If you don't have a scanner, there are special apps for Smartphones and Tablets that can make your device act like a scanner.
The one that I use and recommend is called 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿.
Here is a video on YouTube about the program: https://youtu.be/qU0ODdGwWX8
✓ Photoshop (or Photopea) is recommended for the editing, coloring, and layout.
If Photoshop isn’t an option for you...
A Photoshop alternative that I would recommend is called Photopea, which is a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 online-based app, and can be found here:
https://www.photopea.com
If the student has a different program that they are already familiar with and wish to use for the class, feel free to check with me
𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜/𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙩 (𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙋𝙖𝙙)...
𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱:
✓ A device with a touch screen that the student can draw on.
✓ A stylus to draw on the device.
If you are using an iPad, the stylus used for drawing is called the "Apple Pencil".
There are also cheap apple pencil clones that you can get. But they don't have all the features (like pressure sensitivity)
that the regular iPad Pencil has. Here is a link to one of the pencil clones:
https://www.amazon.com/Generaion-Rejection-Compatible-Generation-Sketching/dp/B08ZCMGLV8
✓ Art software to do the artwork on.
If the student has a program they are already familiar with, they can use that program.
If they don't have an art program to use, I would recommend 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸, which has a lot of great drawing tools.
Photoshop and Photopea would also work.
✓ 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 or 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮 for doing layout.
Students are required to do layout. I can do it for them. But I recommend that trying it out, to get an idea on what its like.
𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨:
✓ Comic Books (For examples and ideas on a comic story can be laid out.)
✓ Printer with Printer Paper 2 archivos disponibles al momento de la inscripción
