Comic Books

This residency allows students to gain a deeper understanding of story structure and character development through comic books. Students will work in groups to write their own comic narrative complete with protagonists, antagonists, setting, climax, and resolution. Comic book artists and writers will teach the basics of comic book layout and character establishment, design, and development. After writing and storyboarding, students will illustrate their comic books and digitize them using simple computer programs provided by PAA on laptops brought to the school. Each student will be able to take away copies of their comic to share with friends and family.
