After School Independent Comic Book Creators

My students need 9 quality drawing materials and printmaking supplies such as paper, pens, staplers, and pencils to make their own comic books.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach art for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade in a racially diverse school of a moderate poverty level. We have nine nationalities represented at our school.

Recently, my fifth grade students have shown and interest in making their own comic books. I have developed an after school club that will meet next spring once a week where these students can come and hone their storytelling skills and eventually publish their own books with full color screen printed covers and xeroxed interior pages.

Our club needs quality drawing materials, such as bristol board, blue pencils and inking markers, to learn how professional comic book artists make their images. Additionally, they will learn the screen printing process to produce full color covers for their books. They will need a screen printing kit, ink and colored paper to produce their book.

Funding this project will give students a product they can be proud of as well as an early entry into making comics like the "pros".
