The Comic Workshop
Little ones (5 and under) will be lead through an activity in which they learn a Comic Workshop original story about three shapes. The parts of the story will be pre-drawn in 6 panels. The panels will need to be colored, cut out, and arranged in sequential order. While we work on these steps we will practice identifying shapes, colors, textures, and incorporate some color theory. This activity engages motor skills and critical thinking. Older kids will go home with a polished 4 panel comic strip. We will go over parts of a story, the importance of sequence, a group activity to practice putting a story into sequence and then time to create their own story inspired by open ended prompts.
