Students are hard at work perfecting their drawings. They use Photoshop to edit the hand-drawn comics. Students can add color, create text, outline the panels, and clean-up all the extra marks. The University of Iowa has a great collection of Graphic Novels and comics. I came up with the idea for this project after attending a summer workshop at the university with Rachel Williams. She is incredibly knowledgable and teaches various workshops and classes on the subject. If you are in the area, I would strongly suggest taking a workshop with her! The university also does K-12 classroom visits and one of the topics they present on is Graphic Novel and Comic Art. It makes a great starting point for a lesson on comics.
