The class. |
In the photos, the faces of the kids in the class were obscured at the request of the instructor due to permission issues. I have also chosen to respect his wishes int he photos I took at the event.
I gave a brief presentation about creating comics and then worked with the students to help them create and draw a 6 panel story of their very own using their character, Binky The Clown. Binky is an evil entity that the kids have fought off before in previous class projects. In this story, Binky escapes hell to get his revenge.
Those kids are very creative.
And happy. Check out those smiles.

If You Can Hold a Pencil... You Can Cartoon
With Robert Alan Black, PhD
The goal in the class is to help you begin to create your own cartoon characters, panels, strips and have fun doing it during each class. Students will focus on cartoons while learning to draw or improve their drawing skills. Class exercises, challenges & one-on-one time will also help you begin to capture your own humor in drawings.
