Students will learn how to generally use Pixlr.com (a free online graphic design software similar to Photoshop), how to draw cartoons in various styles, how to brainstorm visually using a sketchbook, and learn the general history of animation and comic books.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Art Education, am a licensed art teacher in the state of Indiana, and have been teaching art professionally since 2008.  In addition, I have taught several variations of this specific course as an art project from grades 3-8 at several certified schools as a licensed art teacher.  

宿題が提供されます
Each day students will learn a new technique.  They will be given a specific drawing task to complete before the next day.  Whatever portion of the task is not completed in class will be completed after the class on the student’s own time and must be finished before the next class, so the student is ready for the new technique.
授業以外に週あたり 0 - 1 時間の学習が期待されます
評価が提供されます
No formal assessment will be given.  However, students will be showing the instructor each step they complete as they complete it in order to make sure the techniques taught are being following accurately and completely.

We will be using Pixlr.com to digitally edit the students' comic drawings, place them in a single page layout, and add captions for the digitized comic book.  Pixlr is a free photo-editing software that is entirely online and does not require an account or download to use and is COPPA compliant.  Students can also use software and/ or accounts they already have such as Canva, Google slides, phone apps, and PowerPoint.  However, only Pixlr will be taught.
