Comic Characters

Middle Schoolers in my Creating Art classes are finishing up their "Graphic Novel" storyboards.

Students used themselves as central characters in their stories. Here are a few finished pieces :  








Other pieces are posted in the "Gallery" section of the JBHA website. Pieces will be on display soon !
