Class Experience

This class is an unmuted, chatty, fun place to meet weekly to see friends, talk about and share comics, ideas and more! Each class will have either instruction time, prompts or games! Your professional artist-mentor will facilitate the discussion along the way, guiding students in drawing, design, storytelling, style and more! There is a lot of "between the lines" casual instruction during these times, including learning social-emotional regulation, respect and listening to others, and learning to feel empowered about your own ideas and thoughts! 

We analyze and practice many storytelling and art concepts, such as: character development, plot, pacing, panels, dialog, narration, perspective and composition, color, value, sketching, pencil and pen technique and more--however the emphasis of this class is on friendship and discussion. 

When students share story progress, I’ll help them think through critical storytelling components like what your character’s narrative arc might be, what obstacles stand in their way and how they resolve their story problem.

Each week we will look at/draw from/read from/discuss comics, graphic novels and use games to create story arcs, characters, situations and more!

Ellie Peterson
I am a self-taught award-winning, exhibiting, working artist. I have a degree in journalism from Temple University and I worked for years in journalism, editing, graphic design and marketing before quitting it all to pursue my passion and become a working artist, writer and educator 8 years ago! I have had to create portfolios and submit many, many times!

Growth Mindset:
I teach targeted art skills in a safe social-emotional space where students can explore how to think and see like an artist, learn to fail and try again and build confidence in their own intuition and work.

As an artist and writer, I have taught elementary, middle school and high school art, illustration, animation and creative writing in classes including: drawing, painting, comics, stop motion, character design, and fundamental art principles like line, perspective, color, composition and more.
