Description: 

Brought to you by Girdwood Fine Arts Camp

Join us for this week long intensive focussed on writing and drawing graphic novels and comics. For 4 hours a day students will work with experienced comic and writing professionals. They will be introduced to drawing techniques including character design, perspective and thumbnailing. The class will be lead by visiting artist John G. John, a Cleveland based cartoonist known for his work on the Lake Eerie Monster, will be accompanied by Anchorage based journalist Julia O'Malley and cartoonist Lee Post.

Julia will teach writing alongside John, taking what she knows about breaking down complex stories and finding what is important and compelling, and translating it to plotting graphic fiction. Lee will share his unique style of character design and other drawing tricks, many of which he has honed through other teaching artist gigs.

Class will be held 10am-3pm each day with a one hour lunch break at noon (students provide their own lunches). Scholarships available from Girdwood Fine Arts Camp.
