About the Course
In this read-along style class, we’re going down the rabbit hole and into wonderland as we collaborate on a story together and make our own comics!
Comics Draw-Along is ideal for students who enjoy choose your own adventure stories, who want to learn about the basics of making comics, and who love to take stories to silly places. Also recommended for first time comic makers. Over eight, 2 hour lessons, students will learn:
- The basics of designing and drawing characters, environments, creatures and objects.
- How to adapt a story into a comic of their very own
- The basics of comic creation, including how to use panels to pace a story, page layout, speech/thought balloons, depicting effects, and more
At the end of this term, students will receive a printed booklet of their comic and a folder documenting all of their work.
Class sizes are limited to a maximum of ten students to ensure that each one receives the guidance and attention they need to achieve their creative goals.
Supplies, including art materials, folders, and paper, are provided. Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water and a nut free snack. Considering the nature of art classes, it’s also recommended that students wear comfortable clothing that they don’t mind getting a bit of ink on :)

About the Course
In Composing Comics, budding comic artists create original comics based on the term’s theme. This course is designed for students who wish to further develop what they’ve learned from Comics Draw-Along (or who already have a basic understanding of comics), who are confident in their drawing skills and wish to develop their storytelling abilities. We’ll be exploring the theme of “Tales from The Sea” (think of pirates, mermaids, anything ocean themed), and the kinds of characters that inhabit them. We’ll also be learning how to incorporate watercolour and colour pencil into our comics as we explore wet and dry techniques!
Additionally, in this 8 session term course, students will learn how to
- Transform their ideas into structured stories and understand the elements of a compelling narrative
- Use story charts to visually plan their comics.
- Develop underdrawing, sketching, and painting techniques
By the end of the term, each student will receive a printed copy their own original comic, along with a folder showcasing their creative process.
Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 12 students to ensure that each student receives the attention, feedback, and guidance necessary to succeed in this incredible creative endeavour.
Supplies including art materials, folders, and paper, are provided in class. Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water and a nut free snack. Considering the nature of art classes, it’s also recommended that students wear comfortable clothing that they don’t mind getting a bit of ink and paint on :)
