Class Description

This course is an exciting, inspiring introduction to visual storytelling through the mediums of comics and zines. We will also explore the history of zine-making as a tool for grassroots activism and the power of spreading an important message using art!

First, we will delve into the steps of making your own comic:
-Writing your story!
-Sketching your characters!
-Doing rough sketches, or 'thumbnails'!
-Inking!
-Final art!

We'll look at a range of graphic novels and comics for inspiration and guidance along the way.

Then, it's time for zines! We'll learn all about the role of zines in music and activism (and sometimes, both). Then, each student will focus on a topic important to them and design their own zine from start to finish.

My interest in art began when I was young. My father and mother, always supplied me with art supplies and encouragement. I grew up watching and admiring them both, and as I became older I was introduced to teaching as their assistant.

My formal training began in the High School of Art & Design. After graduation I was accepted to the Fashion Institute of Technology where I studied Advertisement and Design and Photography for two years. I graduated from City College of New York City with a BA in Studio Art and Education in 2008. I specialized in graphic design, printmaking, and education. I als...

Instructor's reviews

My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.

Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
