MORE ABOUT THE CLASS: Hey future artists and storytellers! Ever dreamed of bringing your wildest ideas to life on paper? Now's your chance to join local artist Jacob Boland for an awesome adventure into the world of comic art!

In this super fun class, you'll learn how to craft amazing stories, both in order and in totally unique, non-linear ways. Think outside the box and discover how to express yourself through sequential art.

You'll master cool artistic skills like collage, ink wash, and even how to design your very own comic book from scratch! Jacob will guide you through using narrative, your own interpretations, and even autobiographical elements to make your comics truly personal and powerful.

Each week, we'll dive into a new secret of comic creation:

  • Panel Layout & Narrative Flow: Make your story pop and guide your reader's eye!

  • Outlining & Thumbnail Sketches: Get those ideas down fast and figure out your comic's blueprint.

  • Composition & Blocking: Arrange your art like a pro for maximum impact.

  • Ink & Coloring: Bring your characters and worlds to vibrant life!

Visual storytelling is a superpower everyone can learn, and you'll be able to share your awesome talent with friends and family in your very own comic!

The best part? You get to take home all your amazing artwork each week in a cool portfolio, plus any comics you create.

Get ready to unleash your creativity and become a comic book artist!
