September is Comic Book Month
with Lee Fairchild, Naylene Justis & Ben Olson.

September kicks off our new programming featuring theme months.

Each month will feature a main objective which involves 3 weeks of complimentary creativity classes followed by one paid creativity camp where we work on a group project while taking a deeper dive into the theme of the month.

Each student will then receive the final produced collective project. Note - You do not have take part in the free classes to participate in the Comic Book Camp nor are you obligated to participate in the fee-based camp when you take the free classes.

September is Comic Book Month and each class will feature aspects of creating your very own comic book. Our Comic Book Camp (details below) at the end of the month will be a group project taking what we have learned in the previous three weeks to create one comic book collaboration. Each student taking the comic book camp will receive the printed version of our final project.

We are pleased to be providing a virtual Comic Book Camp! Join us the last week of September for an exploration of character development and storytelling taught with Chuck’s own techniques. Our teaching artists, Naylene, Lee, and Ben will guide students through the process of creating their very own collaborative comic book.

Activities include creating and writing our story; sketching out the action in panels, adding ink & color; polishing the final art and dialogue plus producing the final product.

Each aspiring comic book artist will receive a copy of the final comic book produced for this camp. This camp is sure to have something for every young comic book creator!
