Each stage of development involves sharing and discussion. 

Because of the age differences in this class, some students may develop more complex characters and storylines. I support each learner at their level encouraging their development. 

This class is a great fit for students who have completed my Dog Man Draw and Write a Comic Strip (Level 1) class where they practice drawing characters, character development and plot development. 

During vacation periods this class may be scheduled 1X a week for 4 weeks OR 4 times in one week.  Please check the schedule carefully.
