These pages shows the many
different ways she chooses to convey information, from drawing

The Thief Came in the Night... |
Rachel drew inspirations from classic cartooning to draw and
color this episode.
The assignment was to have your character
do a dance. The point was to have students figure out the structure
of their characters, and how to make convincing movements fluidly.
We ask them to create a smooth sequence of gestures, which helps
them think linearly, which is great training for communicating
and understanding gestures of human interaction.

This exercise asked the students to create
a story in the Cinderella or "Rags-to-Riches" mold using
only images they copy out manga provided by the teacher. This
encourages students to find content in images they can't read
ordinarily (manga is all in Japanese.) In addition, we begin to
see stories as patterns and begin to recognize classic themes
throughout literature. This example is page 1 of a 5 page story
and was produced in approximately 20 minutes.

Davey Crockett by Nicky B.
|
Nicky B's story, while
vulgar and full of expletives, is fun and the product of research
that the student had to do to complete the assignment. He had
to organize his research and present it in a linear way.
