While participants will be creating many cartoons during the course (in comic book, comic strip, single panel, and storyboard formats), the final project – and goal of this course – is for each student to produce a completed cartoon story in comic book form that demonstrates the student’s ability to understand character development, narrative structure, and storytelling. These final projects will be collected into a keepsake PDF for you to use as part of your portfolio. Your final project cartoon should be produced in English. This will help participants to strengthen their understanding of the language.
Please note: We intend for this course to be held in-person and the instructor will be traveling to Japan from North America specifically for this course. Therefore, if something happens that prevents the instructor from traveling to Japan, this course will need to move to online.
