teaching comics

[ord]

greetings I taught a comic workshop to a group of adults today in St Kilda. Was a real challenge to explain 'what is a comic' and how does one translate a written piece into a comic story. I liked it though. Made me realise that a lot of what I do is instinctive.And to break it down was a real challenge. I get a lot of teaching resources from the National Association of Comics Art Educators.(on the net) would LOVE to get feedback from other cartoonists out there teaching I want to know how you find teaching, especially to people who have basic drawing skills. Could be a good idea to share resources, ideas for exercises etc the more people teaching, the more doing, the more there will be an actual market/ audience in this country for good quality comic books. whadda ya say? x ordy
