ArtLab + Comic Book Classroom

Ever find yourself daydreaming about super powers, taking down the bad guys, flying around from planet to planet? These are just a few of the things our ArtLab interns will be exploring as they dive into an exciting new partnership with Comic Book Classroom. This is the first time the CBC curriculum has been taught to high school students and, we could not be happier to see what this can evolve into. Over the course of the next six weeks ArtLab interns will learn, understand, and have fun with the CBC curriculum in anticipation of teaching it as part of our Summer Literacy Project to the youth of Colfax Community Network. Each intern will explore elements of comic book storytelling, while developing their own personal narratives and learning best practices for teaching and encouraging the same in kids K-5. Staying true to the CBC curriculum a presentation of the final comics will take place at a top secret location! Check back in to learn more about the progress of this project and look out for the announcements on an ArtLab + CBC comic.
