Grades 5-8

Want to share your story in a creative way? Do you love comics, graphic novels, cartoons, and other forms of sequential art? Using a combination of researched storytelling methods and artistic experiments, students will explore what makes the art of cartooning unique and work together to translate our stories into real-life printed comic books. Students will be encouraged to stretch themselves creatively while still learning the technical basics needed to create a professional comic book. Each student will complete at least four pages of their own comic story, and the final stories will be assembled and printed as an anthology collection available at the local comic shop, World End Comics.
