Throughout this project, the students learned about thumbnail sketches, planning out a work of art, comic book conventions such as including panels and gutters, zooming in to the action, communicating through facial expressions, and varying your line weight. Students also learned how to use lines to create value. Finally, I hope they learned that even if they can't draw perfectly or realistically, they can still use simple images to communicate a whole lot of (true) story and (hilarious) information to a viewer.
This blog is a reflective practice of Liz Chisholm, an art educator working and learning in Chicago. It is a virtual space to share students' processes and accomplishments. The blog documents art my students created at Coonley Elementary and Lane Tech High School, as well as work made during summer and after school programs. It features projects which may be of use to other teachers and artists, and it serves as a reminder of what works and what didn't.
