Students will learn how to generally Pixlr.com (a free online, COPPA-complian graphic design software similar to Photoshop) to edit their drawings and digitize their comic books, will learn how to draw cartoons in various styles, and will gain a general history of drawn animation and comic books, how film makers use storyboards, and the process of graphic novel production.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts Education and am licensed by the State of Indiana to teach art for grades pre-k through 12.  I have worked as a professional education every year since 2008, have been on Outschool since 2020, and have taught several variations of this specific course as an art project at several certified schools as a licensed art teacher.

提供的評估
After finishing their cartoon styles sketch and creating their story, students will post their sketches and describe their story to the class page to encourage and inspire all participating in the course.  Sketches each week will also be sent to the teacher through Outschool messaging for feedback and any needed help. After completing their comic books, students will post their final digital copies on the class page and participate in an art critique. They will list one thing they liked about one another’s art and one thing they could use in their own comic books.
