Class Description

The dynamic literary medium of comics and graphic novels uses a versatile language that’s all its own. In this all-levels hands-on class, students will develop essential skills for powerful, versatile storytelling in words and pictures, including writing, drawing, visual language, crafting narratives, developing characters, inking, and production including scanning, Photoshop, and printing. Students will craft several short comics, which will be collected in a final mini-comic at the end of the session.

While this intensive may be taken independently, it is an elective that is designed to work in conjunction with our Art and Design Pre-College Foundations program. Please see that description or email extension@cornish.edu if you have any questions.
