This course is for anyone who tells stories with pictures. We begin with the old wisdom about what makes a character interesting and a story worth telling, then we get into how to compose and arrange pictures to make a story emotionally powerful. Whether you are designing shots for a film, pages for a children’s book, or panels for a graphic novel, you have two problems: making the story clear, and bringing it to life. We will study how great masters of pictorial storytelling use their craft to move an audience’s emotions.

This is a three-day Intensive course

I’ve taught this course over thirty times at Laguna College of Art & Design and (formerly) at Cal State Fullerton. I’ve also taught it to the cinematics team at Blizzard Entertainment. This is a boiled-down version of the course for professionals and beginners. The sessions will be packed with instruction, so be prepared to learn.
The first sessions are a concentrated, foundational course on storytelling. The final sessions are a concentrated course in sequential shot design. I will explain some differences between various media, such as illustrated books, graphic novels, comic strips and films, but I will emphasize the fundamental discipline behind them all: how to tell the story with pictures, not words.

Materials:

Bring a sketchpad and a mechanical pencil or pen or some other non-messy point media. No charcoal or dusty media or anything that leaves shavings.

I often set a goal for myself to participate in some of the many online art challenges that you can find at various forums, but I’ve found it a challenge to keep track of them all. Instead of trying to set up and keep up a web browser favorites folder on each computer that I use throughout the day, I figured it might be easier to create a blog to keep track of the various challenges, and then I could access it almost anywhere at any time. I thought such a blog might be useful to those of you who also try to set goals to work on personal work.

I’m open to suggestions and comments on the blog, if you have any ideas that might make it more helpful. And if you have a second to become a follower of the blog, that would help motivate me to keep it updated. I always feel pressure to keep it up if I know that people are watching…

Oh, by the way, the blog is called areyouaskingforachallenge.blogspot.com. I probably ought to have mentioned that earlier.

Thanks, and best of luck to you all!
