High School Comic Strips

High school students worked with their table-mates to complete a comic strip.  We spent a little time exploring the career of a comic artist, and after learning some basic terminology, students began constructing their comic strips. 

Here's the process . . . 

Each group brainstormed a story they could easily develop along with some memorable characters. Students then began to roughly sketch out and plan how their story would move along in the nine panels they were allowed to use.  

When the sketch was complete, students transferred their drawing onto a larger sheet embellishing the panels with colored sharpies and markers.

 This group below utilized the light box (thanks Kjan) to save time drawing their main characters.

Here are the final products.  

The above comic is titled The Bad Teacher.  Guess who it is? Yup, me . . .all in FUN!

These aren't the best pictures, but I like the fact that one can see such clear differences in style, color, and design--no two are alike!

Thanks for stopping by!  Stay tuned for a junior high update soon!!
