Teen Comic & Cartooning Workshop

OVERVIEW

Successful Artists/Illustrators are able to tell a story through their artwork without using words or labels. We see these examples in the ancient cave paintings, the Egyptian hieroglyphs, all the way up to the paintings of the renaissance. We tell stories through key elements in the art: Gesture, Color, and Contextual details.

SCOPE

Understanding the messages delivered in comics and other visual media by ways of:

• Gestures; or body language

• Anatomy

• Composition

• Color

• Proportion and Line weights

ACTIVITY

Students will learn the basics of composition, form & anatomy and how those elements can be applied to creating fan art of their favorite characters to creating their original characters of all types and styles. Leading up to creating short original comics using the visual cues listed above, by the end of the program.
