Although they are fun to look through and read in the newspaper, comic books serve a much greater purpose. Whether you are reading them, or creating them, illustrating a story using pictures, words and expressions helps to transform reluctant readers into ravenous readers, increasing their confidence frame by frame. Reading comics will also increase a child's inference and expand their word bank. No matter what your interests are...there is a comic out their for you. | |
| A great thing to do in the summer is to design comics. The first step in creating a comic is to develop your characters. Our characters need to have personality, depth and lots of details. This will make it easy to tell stories using them. For Example: Instead of creating a carrot as a character, create a carrot that has friends, a superpower, a super weakness, etc. Check out how this comic artist creates characters using simple shapes. |
