Comic Book Camp
You don't have to be a superhero to tell a super story.
Design Your Own Graphic Novel
Craft your own visual story through hands on instruction and implementation of Graphic Comic Art. Guided by expert artists and writers, participants will explore Character Design and World-Building, along with story structure and development. Stories will be broken down into pages using sequential storytelling, design, and layouts. The result will be your own Penciled, Inked, lettered, and colored sequential comic art. This two-week experience culminates in a printed comic featuring the art and stories of all participants.
