Programme Synopsis ComixGuru’s core philosophy is based on these 3 pillars: Go-easy, Go-engage and Go-experience. 1. Go-easy: Keep it fun and super simple to understand 2. Go-engage: Make learning relatable and exciting 3. Go-experience: Explore, discover and create with an outcome in mind Rediscover Comics Making is a course designed to impart learners the knowledge of conceptualising one’s idea into a visual story based on our proprietary learning model. Our teaching approach focuses on “the one skill set that makes a difference” when it comes to bridging image and text into sequential art. Our teaching approach is simple to apply, relatable to one’s experience and scalable regardless of one’s learning level. In short, learners shall be able to turn their ideas into pages of comics story fairly quickly once they put the skill into practice. (This 8-session course is fully digital with pre-recorded videos. Students can pose questions and submit their assignments on the portal. 2 free Zoom sessions can be arranged for group coaching when needed.) In this course, they shall acquire the one skill set that is essential in making a comic story: - Understand the concept of space and time - Panel and the flow of time - The language of comics - Writing the story plot - Keyframes in the storyboard - The relation between the script and the comics character - Panel transition on a page - Designing a page layout - Drafting, pencilling to inking a comic page Learning Outcome: Students shall be able to draw 1-3 pages of the comic story after completion of the course.
