In this course, you will learn the basics of making a comic and use the process to make socially conscious and culturally aware comics for Newspapers and the world wide web. My name is Steven Christian. I am a comic book illustrator, animator, and augmented reality developer. My work has been featured on a variety of platforms and channels, and I have a newspaper comic strip in the Willamette Weekly Newspaper called A Moment in Iltopia. My comic strip features to Black kids commenting on the trending topics mainstream news and politics. This will be the reference point for this course. I will be teaching you how to make socially conscious and culturally aware comics for Newspapers and the worldwide web just like the ones I make for the “A Moment in Iltopia” comics. At the end of the course, you will have good understanding of how to create thought provoking and socially conscious comics like the ones I create.
