Comic Book Workshop (Grades 5-8) 

Do you love to write and/or draw? Learn to combine the two to create powerful comics. You will receive a hands-on, crash course in comics creation, where you will explore the techniques and stages of comic book writing. Topics include character design, simplification, panel layout and story writing. You will get a start on your own short comic, and receive feedback from a professional cartoonist.

Students will need access to pencils, paper, and erasers.   We suggest students bring a black fine tip pen and a big thick black pen or marker (like a sharpie) to the sessions. A ballpoint black pen will do the trick too in a pinch.  If they have any other favorite materials (colour markers, coloured pencil, iPad etc) they are more than welcome to bring them.  Rulers are a bonus but not required. 

Students will need to pick up printed 2 handouts for the first session (which can be picked up from their school's head office) , 2 handouts for the second session, and plain paper for sessions 5 and 6.  

This Program runs Tuesday evenings, from 6-7 p.m. and it will start on November 8th and run until December 13th.
