Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this comic book drawing class:

Get the stories out of your head and onto paper! The veteran graphic novelist and teacher, Barbara Slate, will guide students through the same process she learned creating characters for Marvel and DC Comics. Using her critically acclaimed textbook You Can Do a Graphic Novel, Slate will teach students how to find their own drawing style (even if you think you can't draw), plot by color code, develop dialogue, and create eye-popping layouts. If you have characters or a story that you are working on, bring it!

Please bring a pencil, eraser, and paper of your choice to class.

Classroom notifications will be emailed prior to the course start date.
