Museum Education at PAFA

In this course, we emphasize cartooning basics, studying drawing and inking techniques with a variety of professional tools. You will be taught to integrate narration with the language of sequential art (comics). Students will first write a story (choose either fiction or non-fiction) then design characters and environments to be used as they transform that story into a short-form comic.

Students are responsible for bringing all art supplies. Please have your supplies with you at the start of class on Monday, July 22. The supplies list is below:

• Drawing pencils of any kind        
• Eraser – kneaded or white rubber        
• Smaller sketchbook (8.5” x 11”)        
• 11” x 14” pad of smooth Bristol board        
• Waterproof black India ink        
• Small jar for water        
• #1 or #2 watercolor brush
