Comic Strips: Lecture and Demonstration Grade levels K-12
Comic Strips is a lecture demonstration period where the students can try a hands on approach to experience being cartoonist. Many examples will be used from comic books to newspaper cartoons, including some examples from Donald’s own continuing editorial cartoon in The Columbus Post newspaper.
The examples of comic art will range from funny comics to realistic, serious stories and super-hero comics. The lecture can cover plotting the story, creating the setting, using narrative, scripting the story in general from the writers point of view, and or choosing the audience that the comic shall appeal to in age, and subject matter.
There can be a brief discussion of the history of comics in America. A demonstration of drawing a comic strip will be used to show and discuss how the artist uses the different techniques of blue penciling, graphite lead penciling, and inking the finished piece so it can be sent for publication.
