After having fun designing characters in both two-dimension and three-dimension, we decided to make these characters come to life even more. What better than to have these thoughtfully designed characters become a comic! Comics provide students with an abundance of areas to excel in, from illustration to storytelling.
The objective was for students to learn that they can use visual storytelling to express imaginative ideas in the form of a comic, through use of drawing, text, and placement.
After beginning the class with a little charades skit where students used visual cues to tell us what we were trying to say, we learned that you can tell a story through the use of images, expression, and placement. Once charades was finished, it was time to begin thinking about a "skit" for their own characters. Last class, there were certainly a lot of imagination put into their characters, so making a comic allowed students to go even further with thinking.
Each student put their own spin on their story in interesting ways; some used word bubbles and expressive marks, while others used more text, and some used only images.
This lesson provided a way for us to learn even more about each student, and allowed them to explore multiple ways to tell a story.
