Intro into Drawing and Comic Book Art (Sunny Lane 11am) 5th-8th $100/Semester
An exciting course where students will level up their drawing skills, invent unforgettable heroes and villains, and transform their wildest ideas into bold, action-packed comic book stories bursting off the page.
“Every Great Hero Starts with a Pencil.” Comic Books have been around for decades, but before we delve too far into the books themselves we need to go to the root of how they start. Throughout this course, students will build a strong foundation in drawing while unlocking the art of visual storytelling. During the first semester, we’ll focus on the fundamentals of drawing — including line, shape, shading, perspective, proportion, and composition — helping students strengthen their technical skills and creative confidence. We’ll dive into the dynamic world of comic books, how to make them come to life by way of flipbooks, and learn a little about the history of how they came about. During the second semester, we will explore character design, storytelling techniques, and lettering styles. There will be a little outside of class work, mostly during the second semester, as we work to design and perfect our comic books. By the end of the course, students will bring their ideas to life by creating their very own original comic books. “Design Characters. Build Worlds. Tell Your Story.”
For this course the students will need a drawing pad similar to the one in the link. I prefer the spiral bound because you can fold them back neatly and they take up less space.
