Yep, that’s right. The Comic Book Creators session at Galileo Summer Quest came to an end today, with nearly all of my 32 students walking away with 10 copies of their very own comics (see below for proof). And not just comics they’d banged out in clipart a la David Rees (not to knock the magnificent Get Your War On), but real comics that they’d thumbnailed, pencilled, inked, scanned, photoshopped and coloured. Not bad for 9 days work!
I’m so proud of all the students in both my classes (spanning 5-8th grades) that I’m going to stop gushing and sit down with their comics for a good read. What better praise is there.
I’ll post excerpts over the weekend, but just to whet your appetites, we had comics covering: an escape from a haunted town; a star wars take-off, done with sausages; an epic knight’s tale; a man who’s shrunk and can only communicate with his dog; a space story with a twist in the tale; Hercules fighting Kung-Fu Panda; a nature documentary featuring a Runyip (from Star Wars – come ON); unemployed taxi drivers panhandling; more plots to take over the world than I could ever have imagined; and even the odd (semi) wordless piece. An ink-stained pat on the back to everyone involved.
PS It’s also given me an idea for posting tutorials on this site, which I’ll do imminently. Keep your eyes peeled for a new section on the main menu bar.
