Action! ART!

I just finished teaching a five session class called, Action! ART! that focused on narrative art making. I had seven amazing students who each created their own stories, sets, and characters! After working on thumbnails and storyboards, each student built their own sets and backgrounds out of a variety of materials. They then created characters (or brought some of their favorite action figures) to photograph within the sets. After photographing and editing their stories, students then added text. In the end each story turned out very unique and I really love them all!

Below are the covers of each book and the final layouts. The full spreads (with text) will be e-mailed to the kids and parents. Enjoy!
