Good Comix Evolutionary Table

About the course: 

A cartooning group focusing on comics and illustration where participants will experience the possibilities of combining image and text, character development, and creating humour through drawing from personal experience.

Students will then develop visual storytelling skills, creating a narrative around comic characters they have developed while working towards producing a finished comic story.

This course would enable the students to focus on their own imagery and ideas and develop the skills to pursue these ideas into completed form, either as finished self-published zines or comic books or shared with the wider world through digital media.

Each session will combine development exercises as well as the possibility of tutoring on individual projects.  

The course will cover the languages and symbols of comics. It will explore different genres and possibilities such as autobiographical comics, experimental/abstract comics, comic journalism, as well as the more traditional comic forms of gag strips, superheroes and manga.
