We have two new weekly classes with the start of the Winter Term at the Currier Art Center (Manchester, NH):
- Stick Figure World (Ages 7-10) = A rollicking attempt at comics world-building and storytelling, using only stick-figures!
- Manga Comics Power! (Ages 11-18) = A teen group dedicated to exploring the secrets and wonders of the world of manga (Japanese comics)! So far, we’ve chosen such goals as:
- Develop characters
- Use objects & action effectively in artwork
- Study backgrounds
- Study manga drawing styles
- Action, from panel to panel
- Draw hands better
- Learn how to use silent panels
- Draw clearly
To get a sense of our experience levels, techniques, and styles, the manga class drew pages (like the samples above) to answer the question, “What is manga?”
