Comics is a unique and powerful way to express and communicate ideas and stories; no story is more fundamental and accessible to us than our own, and this class will focus on developing a means of expressing our own stories through art, in the technique, style, and personality unique to each young artist and student.

This course is an introduction to the role that computers and digital information play in modern artmaking, crafting, and manufacturing. Students will come to understand the benefits, the limitations, and the relationship with traditional skills, culminating in a large-scale final project.
