Adventure Lab class…
I’ve been wanting to teach a class like this for ages, and now I have the opportunity. I’m teaching a 6-week after-school class at my son’s school called “Adventure Lab.” If it goes well, I’ll try to bring it to other venues. Here’s the description:
Adventure Lab:
A tablespoon of drawing + a quarter-cup of storytelling + a teaspoon of dried dragon bellybutton = ?
Ever want to tell the story of a cyclops noodle chef with anger issues? Or the tragedy of the only pirate who can’t grow a beard? Or the tale of a robot zookeeper whose safari ship crash-landed in a candy factory? Ever get bored of the same old stories being told and want to tell your own? In this class, we will learn techniques of character creation and story-telling, mixing drawing and writing to create original comics. At the end of the six weeks, we will publish everyone’s stories to share with the rest of the unsuspecting world.
I very much wish that I was able to attend this class! It would be rather difficult though, what with it being half way across the country. And I am not sure how much my son would get out of it as he is only two.
I hope it all goes well. Perhaps if you get enough interest you could offer it as a web course or some such nonsense.
Thanks Rob. Two might be a little young, but maybe he’s a prodigy. Dunno about a web course, but I am working on some book ideas….
