Lesson Fees

Matt guides students through the creation of a comics page, the construction of a character, and the life of a comic from script to press. The educational and entertaining performance encourages participation from the audience as Matt creates the characters, scenarios and pages. Students learn the basics of comics mechanics, the basics of drawing, and creating a story. The assembly is best followed by workshops where students can put the principles they've learned into action by creating their own written and drawn pages.
