Secondary Comics
Ages 12 - 14
For students who like creating their own stories and want to do this in a visual way, then comics and graphics novels are for them.
Students will learn how to tell an interesting story, techniques that comics use and how to create their own. The comics are all produced online using pre-drawn characters, so drawing ability does not matter (unless you really WANT to draw it all yourself!). This course will result in you creating your own comic book pages.
This course spans 15 hours, 1.5 hours a week for 10 weeks.
Secondary Comics will be running in 2025.
Course costs $199 for the term. Courses are group sessions of 2-5 students.
